Directions:

1. Cherry Filling:

Let’s start with the preparation of Black Forest Cupcakes with Cherry Filling!

  • In a saucepan, mix the cornflour and water to form a slurry.
  • Place the saucepan over medium heat and add the cherries, sugar, and vanilla extract.
  • Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and the cherries soften.
  • Remove from heat and let cool.

2. Make the Batter and Bake the Cupcakes:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar until fluffy.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla.
  • Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, until smooth.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the liners and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Let cool completely.

3. Assemble the Cupcakes:

  • Once the cupcakes have cooled, use a knife or cupcake corer to remove a small section from the center of each cupcake.
  • Fill the cavity with the cooled cherry filling.

4. Whip the Cream:

  • Beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form.
  • Pipe or spread the whipped cream onto each cupcake.

5. Garnish and Serve the Black Forest Cupcakes with Cherry Filling:

Top with chocolate shavings and a whole cherry for a classic Black Forest look.
