Cherry Surprise Honey Cupcakes Recipe

Langkah-langkah

1. Preheat Oven to 350˚F. Line cupcake pans with paper liners and set aside.

2. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat together your liquid ingredients (3/4 cup olive oil, 1 cup honey, 4 eggs, 1 tsp vanilla, 3/4 cup milk) for 1 minute on high or until well blended.

3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together: 1 3/4 cups cake flour, 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 Tbsp baking powder, 3/4 tsp salt.

4. Fold the dry ingredients into your wet ingredients 1/3 at a time and Blend until just combined. The batter should still be a little lumpy.

5. Use an ice cream scoop to transfer batter into the lined cupcake pan. Fill each cupcake about 2/3 of the way up (a full ice cream scoop). Bake at 350˚F for 15 -18 min or until a toothpick comes out clean and tops are starting to turn golden.

6. Once the cupcakes are cooled to room temp, you're ready to fill them.This can be done one of two ways, cut out a piece of cupcake from the center and stuff with cherries, or you can put the cherries into a piping bag with an opening that is wide enough for the cherries to go through. You need something with a firm tip (I just used a coupler on the end) to push inside the cupcake (so a ziploc won't work; been there, failed at that).

7. Use a paring knife to slice an "X" into the top of your cupcake going about 1/2 way into the cupcake. Put the tip of your icing bag into the X and squeeze in the filling until your piping tip is pushed out.

8. I frosted the Cupcakes with the "Cupcake Frosting Recipe" using my WILTON 1M Star Tip to top these beauties. It's a great frosting; firm enough to add a little color and it holds its form really well and stays good at room temp for a few hours making it ideal for a party. 4. Use the back of a spoon to make a little well on top of the cupcake, then place a cherry on top of each cupcake (if desired), you can omit the cherry on the top to make it a real cherry surprise. ;)
