Best Cherry Cobbler Cupcake Recipes

CHERRY COBBLER CUPCAKE

Steps:

• For the cake batter: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F; line cupcake pans with 24 cupcake liners.
• In a medium bowl, combine the pastry flour, cornstarch, cinnamon, baking powder, nutmeg, baking soda and salt and set aside. Using an electric mixer with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy; scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition; mix in the vanilla. Alternately add the flour mixture and the buttermilk, starting and ending with the flour mixture and beating well after each addition.
• Spoon the batter into the liners, filling them about halfway, and add 1 teaspoon of cherry filling in the center of each. Bake until an inserted toothpick comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting.
• Raise the oven temperature to 350 degrees F for the crumble.
• For the oatmeal crisp crumble: In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture gets crumbly. Spread the mixture on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Let cool.
• For the cinnamon buttercream: In the bowl of an electric mixer with a paddle attachment, beat the shortening and butter on medium speed until creamy and smooth. Add the vanilla and beat for 2 minutes. Add the confectioners' sugar and cinnamon and beat for 1 minute. Add 1/4 cup water and beat until creamy and smooth.
• To assemble: Frost the cupcakes with the cinnamon buttercream and garnish with the oatmeal crisp crumble.
