Number Of Ingredients 17

CHANTILLY FROSTING
1/3 c granulated sugar
1 1/2 Tbsp vanilla bean paste
2 c cold heavy cream
24 maraschino cherries
2 Tbsp maraschino cherry juice
MARACHINO CHERRY CUPCAKE
2 eggs
4 egg yolks
1 1/2 Tbsp vanilla bean paste
1 1/2 c granulated sugar
1 c sour cream
2 stick unsalted butter
3 Tbsp grenadine
3 c all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp baking powder

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat over to 350 degrees and line a cupcake pan with 24 liners
  • 2. Beat all ingredients in a bowl of a stand mixer until smooth.
  • 3. Fill cupcake liner 3/4 of the way and bake for about 22 minutes. They should be light but the top should bounce back if you press your finger into it.
  • 4. Cool on a rack before frosting (at least 20 min)
  • 5. Whip the cold heavy cream and sugar in a stand mixer for about 10 minutes or until peaks form.
  • 6. Add the vanilla bean paste and whip until just combined.
  • 7. Frost cupcakes with the chantilly frosting. It's recommended that you use a tip with ridges like the star tip so it can catch the cherry juice.
  • 8. Top each frosted cupcake with a maraschino cherry and let about 1/4 teaspoon of the juice to drip down the ridges of the frosting.
