Ingredients

Cherry - 8.8 oz
Wheat Flour - 5.3 oz
Cocoa Powder - 2 tablespoons

Sugar - 1.4 oz
Egg white - 1 piece
Milk - 4 fl oz
Butter - 1.8 oz
Cream - 4.9 oz
Chocolate - 5.3 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 392°F. Place 10 paper liners in a cupcake pan. Set aside 10 cherries for decoration, and chop the rest coarsely.

Step 2

Sift the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and baking powder into a large bowl. Add the chopped cherries. In another bowl, mix the egg, milk, and melted butter.

Step 3

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the egg mixture, quickly mixing to form a batter. Do not overmix — the batter should be lumpy.

Step 4

Divide the mixture among the liners. Bake for 15–20 minutes until risen. Transfer the baked cupcakes to a wire rack to cool. If the cupcakes have domed, trim the tops to level them for frosting.

Step 5

Melt the chocolate with the cream in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and whisk until thickened. Once the cupcakes have cooled, frost them to the edges of the liners and decorate with a cherry.
