Everyone I’ve made these for, loves black forest cupcakes. I have made these for my dentist, family, coworkers, and for my sisters’ catered bbq<\/a><\/strong><\/span>. A hit every<\/strong><\/em> time. The thing that makes these cupcakes is the booze. Kirsch is THE ingredient to have in a black forest cake and is definitely a must to get that perfect flavour. Paired with the fluffy white pudding icing, they have a perfect balance of sweetness from the chocolate, a wee tart bite from the cherries, an extra kick of cherry from the Kirsch and the smooth and light icing.<\/p>\n

I also cheated (shhh, no comments from the peanut gallery) and used a boxed mix. I know. I’m sorry. But when you’re pushed for time, sometimes its the quickest way. And frankly some of the dark chocolate mixes out there are freakin’ awesome.<\/p>\n

BLACK FOREST CUPCAKES<\/span><\/h2>\n

Prepare cupcakes as per the box instructions (use a nice dark mix, say german chocolate cake or devils), replacing some of the liquid with kirsch. For a recipe that calls for \u00a01 1\/4 cups water, I’d make 1\/2 cup of that Kirsch. Prepare the filling by using a large can of cherry pie filling, mixed with a generous splash of Kirsch. You don’t want the pie filling too liquid’y but you want some Kirsch in there for flavouring, so remove some of the cherry liquid.<\/p>\n

Once the cupcakes are cooled, you’ll want to prepare them for filling:<\/p>\n

Step 1. Divot a cone-shaped hole with a paring knife, in the cupcake
\nStep 2. Fill the divot with cherry pie filling, usually 3-4 cherries per cupcake
\nStep 3. Trim the divot top so its just a flat piece and place on top of filling
\nStep 4. Ice and sprinkle chocolate shavings on top (I like to use Fluffy Pudding Icing<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>that also has a splash of Kirsch in it)<\/p>\n
