📝 Preparation Steps
1
Cherry Compote Filling:
2
Pick out 12 cherries that look the best, reserve for decoration.
3
Place cherries in a medium saucepan and add sugar. Cook over medium heat, partially covered, for about ⏱️ 8-12 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture is slightly thickened, and cherries are soft.
4
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and almond extracts and kirsch, if using. Transfer to a bowl and cool until room temperature before filling cupcakes.
kirsch (optional (see note))2 teaspoons(200g) granulated sugar1 cup(226g) cream cheese softened8 ounces(113g) powdered sugar1 cup(474ml) heavy whipping cream, cold2 cups
5
Cupcakes:
6
Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare cupcake pans with liners or grease and flour cake pan(s).
7
Whisk together sugar, cocoa, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and flour in a large bowl. Set aside.
8
Whisk oil, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla in a large measuring cup or bowl.
(200g) granulated sugar1 cuplarge egg1(226g) cream cheese softened8 ounces(113g) powdered sugar1 cup(474ml) heavy whipping cream, cold2 cups
9
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Whisk in hot water. Batter will be thin.
10
Divide into cupcake pans lined with cupcake liners (about ¼ cup per cupcake). Bake approximately ⏱️ 12-18 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center. Cool completely before frosting.
11
Frosting:
12
Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth and thick using a hand or a stand mixer (use the whisk attachment on a stand mixer).
13
While mixing on medium-high speed, slowly add the heavy whipping cream. Continue whipping until the frosting forms stiff peaks. It’ll resemble whipped cream but be thicker.
14
Assembling:
15
Cut out a bit of the center of each cupcake. Fill with filling. Replace part of the cupcake.
16
Frost with whipped cream frosting.
17
Top with a reserved cherry, some juices from the compote, and some chocolate shavings.
