Time 33m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1½ cups all-purpose flour
3 Tablespoons cocoa powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, (softened)
1 egg
½ cup buttermilk
¾ cup Regular Coke
1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 (21 oz) can cherry pie filling
1 cup heavy whipping cream
4 Tablespoons powdered sugar
Maraschino Cherries, (for garnish)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a muffin pan with cupcake liners. Set aside. Mix the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
  • Mix the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
  • In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and butter with an electric mixer, beating on medium-high speed until fluffy. Add the egg and beat for one more minute. In another small bowl, combine the buttermilk, Coke, and vanilla extract. Allow time for the foam to go go down when measuring the Coke. Your mixture might look curdled when you add the buttermilk. That's normal.
  • Beginning with the flour mixture, add in small parts to the butter mixture, alternating with the Coke mixture. Beat each addition just until incorporated.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the muffins tins. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Once cooled, use a small sharp knife to cut out a cone shape in the middle of each cupcake. Add a spoonful of cherry pie filling (2 to 3 cherries) to the well.
  • Beat the heavy whipping cream in a chilled bowl with whisk attachment (or hand mixer), beginning on low speed. I like to place my mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for a few minutes before mixing. Once the cream gets frothy begin adding the powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, increasing speed as the cream comes together until you reach medium-high speed. Whip the cream until it holds stiff peaks (if you dip a spoon in it, the whipped cream should stay on the spoon when you turn it upside down). Pipe the whipped cream onto cupcakes as desired and top with maraschino cherries for garnish. Enjoy!

CHOCOLATE-CHERRY CUPCAKES



Chocolate-Cherry Cupcakes image

If you're a fan of chocolate and cherry, then these cupcakes are for you! Start by making a quick cherry compote to use in both the cupcakes and the frosting for maximum cherry flavor! The cherry buttercream recipe makes enough to generously frost the cupcakes, so keep that in mind when making it!

Time 1h40m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 ½ cups frozen tart cherries, pitted
½ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup white sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream, at room temperature
½ cup strongly brewed coffee, cooled to room temperature
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
4 cups powdered sugar, or as needed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons heavy cream

Steps:

  • Bring cherries, sugar, and lemon juice to a simmer in a medium pot over medium-low heat. Cook until sugar is dissolved, stirring frequently. Remove 2 tablespoons of cherry juice from the pot and place in a small bowl. Stir in cornstarch until thoroughly combined. Add cornstarch mixture to the pot and simmer until thickened and slightly reduced, about 5 minutes more.
  • Remove compote from heat and cool completely. Measure out 1 cup for the cupcake batter. Reserve remaining compote, about 6 tablespoons, for the frosting.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line or grease two standard 12-cup muffin tins.
  • Whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Beat brown sugar, butter, and white sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract. Mix in 1/3 of the flour mixture, stirring until just combined. Pour in 1/2 of the sour cream and cooled coffee; mix until just combined.
  • Continue alternating additions of the flour mixture with sour cream and coffee, beginning and ending with the flour mixture, until batter is smooth. Do not overmix. Gently fold in 1 cup cherry compote. Fill each prepared muffin cup 2/3 full of batter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the tops of the cupcakes spring back lightly when touched, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool in the tins for a few minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Prepare cherry buttercream while the cupcakes are cooling. Beat butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla and salt. Add 2 tablespoons of cherry compote and beat on medium-high speed until thoroughly combined. Repeat twice more with remaining cherry compote, beating well after each addition. Add heavy cream and beat until frosting is fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Spread or pipe frosting over the cooled cupcakes.

2 cups granulated sugar
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

Marshmallow Frosting, recipe follows
1 cup heavy whipping cream
12 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped or chips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 regular size cupcake pans with cupcake liners.
  • In a large bowl using an electric mixer on low speed, combine the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the eggs, half-and-half, oil, and vanilla and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in the boiling water until fully combined.
  • Fill the cupcake liners three-quarters full with batter and bake until the cupcakes spring back when touched with your finger, 10 to 15. Let cool in the pans for a few minutes, and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Dip the tops of the cupcakes in Chocolate Ganache. Pipe Marshmallow Frosting onto the cupcakes using a pastry bag and your favorite tip.
  • In a medium saucepan, bring the whipping cream to a simmer. Take off the heat and add the chocolate. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes. Whisk the mixture until smooth and creamy.
  • Place egg whites, sugar and cream of tartar in a heat-safe bowl over a saucepan with boiling water. Whisk constantly over the heat for 1 to 3 minutes. Once the sugar has dissolved, remove from the heat and beat with an electric mixer on high until stiff peaks have formed, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract.
