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:

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.

    First batch was a cupcake massacre since they needed a little more baking without realizing it. But the second batch was absolutely delicious (baked for an extra 5-6 minutes. Soft/moist and flavorful. I however made a cream cheese frosting instead which tasted great on top. And in all, this is a really, really easy recipe to make! I will be making this over and over again.

    I made this for a friend's birthday and he was delighted to eat them : It's especially great since he's not a cupcake person. I also made it again, and several people told me that this cupcake was one of the best they have ever tasted. This is a great recipe to follow!
