So delicious! These homemade chocolate cupcakes are filled with black cherry jam and topped with whipped cream, maraschino cherries, and grated chocolate.
Ingredients
Filling
- 1 (12 ounce) jar black cherry jam
Topping
- 1 pint heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons sucralose sweetener (such as Splenda®), or to taste
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (6 ounce) jar maraschino cherries
- ½ cup grated milk chocolate, or to taste
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup white sugar
- 4 eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line two muffin tins with cupcake liners.
Step 2
Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time. Mix in milk. Add flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda; beat until batter is smooth.
Step 3
Pour batter into prepared muffin tins, filling each liner about half-full.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 25 minutes.
Step 5
Cut tops off the cooled cupcakes. Remove a small amount of the center of each cupcake. Fill the centers with a small dab of black cherry jam. Put the tops back on, covering the jam.
Step 6
Combine heavy cream, sucralose sweetener, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Whip until soft peaks form. Place in the refrigerator until chilled.
Step 7
Place whipped cream in a piping bag fitted with a round or star tip. Frost each cupcake with a swirl of whipped cream. Top each one with a maraschino cherry and grated chocolate.
Cook’s Notes:
Use sugar in place of Splenda(R), if desired. I find that the whipped cream holds up longer in the fridge when I use sucralose.
