Recipe Summary Black Forest Cupcakes

So delicious! These homemade chocolate cupcakes are filled with black cherry jam and topped with whipped cream, maraschino cherries, and grated chocolate.

Ingredients | Black Forest Gummy Bears Nutrition Information

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

1 (12 ounce) jar black cherry jam

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

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line two muffin tins with cupcake liners.

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.

Pour batter into prepared muffin tins, filling each liner about half-full.

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.

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.

Combine heavy cream, sucralose sweetener, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Whip until soft peaks form. Place in the refrigerator until chilled.

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.

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.

If you don't have a piping bag, you can cut the corner off a resealable plastic bag and slip the piping tip into the corner.
