Cook 14 min
Yield: 24 cupcakes
Ingredients
Cupcakes:
1 (18.25-ounce) package butter-recipe chocolate cake mix (recommended:
Betty Crocker)
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
3 eggs
1 1/3 cups cranberry-cherry juice
1/2 cup cherry pie filling
Ingredients
Frosting:
1 1/4 cups white baking chips
7 tablespoons heavy cream
2 1/2 teaspoons light-color corn syrup
1 1/4 cups whipped fluffy white frosting
1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 (10-ounce) jar maraschino cherries with stems, drained
For cupcakes:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 24 (2 1/2-inch) muffin cups with paper
liners; set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cake mix, butter, eggs, and cranberry-cherry
juice with an electric mixer on low for 30 seconds. Scrape down side of bowl.
Beat for 2 minutes on medium. Spoon 2 tablespoons batter into each prepared
muffin cup. Spoon 1 teaspoon cherry pie filling on batter in each cup and top
with another 1 tablespoon cupcake batter.
Bake for 12 to 16 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the cupcakes comes
out clean. Cool cupcakes in muffin cups on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove
cupcakes from muffin cups and cool completely on wire rack.
For frosting:
Place the white baking chips in a medium bowl; set aside. In a small saucepan,
heat the heavy cream and corn syrup over medium heat until nearly boiling. Pour
the hot mixture over the white baking chips; stir until completely smooth. Let
stand for 10 minutes. Stir the cream mixture into the white frosting until well
mixed; set aside.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, microwave the semisweet chocolate chips on
medium for 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds. Place the maraschino cherries
on paper towels to dry. Dip each dry cherry into melted semisweet chocolate and
place on waxed paper-lined baking sheet until chocolate hardens.
Frost each cupcake with white chocolate frosting and top with a
chocolate-covered cherry.
