Chocolate Cupcakes with Marshmallow Cream Frosting

Chocolate Cupcakes with Marshmallow Cream Frosting #BigHero6 #shop #cbias - Mama Harris' Kitchen There’s a new Disney movie coming out this week! Have you seen the previews for Big Hero 6? Every time they come on TV my boys stop whatever they are doing and stare at the tv. They start cracking up laughing and Baymax is already their favorite character. I think it’s a given that this will be one movie we head to the theaters to see.

With most movies we wait until they come out to video. Sometimes it’s just too much to get our whole family to the movie theater. With everyone’s different schedules, it can be difficult to gather all the kids together at a decent hour. This movie will be an exception. Everyone is looking forward to seeing it, there’s heroic robots and it takes place is San Fransokyo (a combination of San Francisco and Tokyo, I assume). The focus of the movie is on Hiro and his over-sized robot companion Baymax that team up with a team of first time crime-fighters to save their city. Yes, my boys will love this and so will my girl. It’s a must see!

Big Hero 6 opens November 7th. Get your merchandise at Walmart! #BigHero6 #shop #cbias - Mama Harris' KitchenTo get into the spirit of Big Hero 6 I headed to Walmart to see if I could find some merchandise for the movie. Every time a movie comes out with characters that my little ones like, I try to find them some t-shirts and other memorabilia that they’re sure to love. I head to Walmart because I’m sure to find something there and everything is so affordable. I also wanted to make some kind of treat inspired by the movie. When watching the previews, it’s hard not to notice how much the over-sized white robot, Baymax, looks like a big fluffy marshmallow. At least in my eyes, because I see food in everything (hello, food blogger here!). So earlier this week I decided to make some homemade chocolate cupcakes with marshmallow cream frosting that’s fluffy and just so happens to resemble our new favorite Disney character. I surprised them after school and my boys loved their shirts, poster and these cupcakes!

Ingredients for Chocolate Cupcakes:

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa (not Dutch processed)
  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk

Ingredients for Marshmallow Cream Frosting

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1.5 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon pure almond extract
  • 1 13 ounce jar marshmallow cream

Directions:

Chocolate Cupcakes with Marshmallow Cream Frosting #BigHero6 #shop #cbias - Mama Harris' Kitchen Preheat your oven to 350. Begin to prepare the cupcakes by combining the cocoa powder, flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Mix well so all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

In a separate, larger mixing bowl add the eggs and beat them on medium. Add the sugars and mix well with the beaten egg. Beat the oil in, then add the extract.

Continue beating on medium/low with a mixer, and slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet. Slowly add the buttermilk, then once mixed well pour it all into 12 cupcake liners.

Place in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes until a toothpick placed in the center comes out clean.

Big Hero 6 opens November 7th. Get your merchandise at Walmart! #BigHero6 #shop #cbias - Mama Harris' Kitchen

We are so excited about this movie and can’t wait for it to open. I was able to find Big Hero 6 items at Walmart in the boys clothing section, I found the poster near the toy section, and I also found some characters for the Disney Infinity Game over in the Gaming and Entertainment section. I’ll be going back again this weekend to see if I can find a few toys too, since it looked like they had just begun selling merchandise while gearing up for the movie release.

    I am SO ready to see Big Hero 6! I know how you feel about getting a big family all out to the movie. By the time it’s all said and done, you’ve spent five million dollars to go see part of a movie between bathroom and snack breaks. Your marshmallow cupcakes are making my tummy rumble. Can you send one my way, please? #client

    Forget the movie, I NEED them cupcakes! LOL! We love seeing kid-friendly movies, I think we love them more than the little ones do.

      Haha! The cupcakes were good, and the chocolate cake part wasn’t too heavy which was a perfect contrast with the frosting. We love kid movies too!

    For the marshmallow cream frosting could you use 1/4 tsp vanilla instead of almond? Thank you. All your food looks so good. Can’t wait to try some of your recipes.

It’s also Vidalia Onion season 🧅 so I paired this seasonal favorite with pan-seared shrimp and veggies as a light rice bowl using your choice of grains.☺️This meal is an absolute delight!

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
