    What do yo think? Are you ready for some delicious cupcakes? Haven’t made any for quite some time. Shame on me ;) But today you will get a lot of cupcake awesomeness: Chocolate Cupcakes with an Amarena Cherry Filling, Marshmallow Frosting and a Dark Chocolate Glaze… yes you may start drooling now :P

    Right before Easter I showed you a little teaser for some hi-hat cupcakes similar to these ones here but filled with Eierlikör. I did not give you a recipe back then, but you can find them now on the Kitchen Stories app for example. I liked them a lot so I decided to make them again but with a filling that is not tied to a holiday or season. These ones here with Amarena Cherry* filling can be made all year long, cause the cherries come out of a glass jar ;) Amarena Cherry Season all year round!

    Most of you probably know this kind of cherries from a trip to the ice cream parlor. They are often used for decorations on ice cream, but you can use them for much more. The other day I made some cookies with them – really nice! Maybe I will give you the recipe on #CookieFriday some day ;) Well here the cherries ended up inside the cupcakes as a filling. Pretty easy thing to do. The syrup of the cherries will spread in the cupcakes and makes them nice and moist. And sweeter, but that should be ok, right?

    A little note on the side for the marshmallow frosting: Make sure you the cupcakes with the frosting are cooled very well before you dip them in the chocolate glaze. If the frosting is not sticking well to the cupcake, you will end up with a big mess. If the frosting is cool, it sticks to the cupcake and all should be fine. The chocolate cools down faster and dries faster this way ;)

    Well – enjoy making them!

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch
    1. Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C). Line a muffin tin with 12 paper liners and set aside. Melt the chocolate for the dough and set aside.

    2. Add the butter and sugar to a large bowl and mix until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one after another and mix in well after each addition. Add the melted and cooled chocolate and mix in. Mix the flour with cocoa, espresso powder, baking powder and salt in a smaller bowl and then add together with the milk to the large bowl and mix until just combined. Fill the batter into the prepared paper liners and bake for 16-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Take out of the oven and let cool down completely.

    3. Add the egg whites, sugar and lemon juice for the marshmallow frosting into a large heatproof bowl and place on a pot with simmering water (the bowl should not touch the water). Mix until the egg whites reach a temperature of 160°F (71°C) and the sugar has dissolved completely – that takes about 5-6 minutes. Take off the heat and mix on high speed with your food processor or handheld mixer for about 5-6 minutes until the mixture is very thick and glossy. The bowl should have cooled down by now. Fill into a piping bag with a large round tip.

    4. Use a cupcake corer or sharp knife to cut a hole into each cupcake and fill with the Amarena cherries and syrup from the glass. Pipe a good amount of frosting on each cupcake and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

    5. While the cupcakes are cooling down, melt the chocolate for the coating and mix with the oil. Let cool down again (around 100°F/38°C). Dip the cooled cupcakes into the cooled chocolate so the frosting is covered completely, then place on a wire rack and let the chocolate harden. Serve.

    1. Den Ofen auf 200°C (390°F) vorheizen. Ein Muffinblech mit 12 Papierförmchen bestücken. Zur Seite stellen. Die Schokolade schmelzen und abkühlen lassen.

    2. Die Butter mit dem Zucker in einer großen Schüssel hell und luftig aufschlagen. Die Eier einzeln zugeben und jeweils gut verrühren. Die geschmolzene Schokolade (nicht zu warm) zugeben und unterrühren. In einer kleineren Schüssel das Mehl mit Kakao, Espresso Pulver, Backpulver und Salz vermischen, dann mit der Milch zum Butter Mix zugeben und nur kurz verrühren. Den Teig auf die Papierförmchen verteilen und dann für 16-18 Minuten backen. Mit einem Zahnstocher testen, ob noch Teig kleben bleibt und erst herausnehmen, wenn der Zahnstocher sauber herauskommt. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und auf einem Kuchengitter komplett auskühlen lassen.

    3. Für das Marshmallow-Frosting das Eiweiß zusammen mit dem Zucker und einem Spritzer Zitronensaft in eine hitzebeständige Schüssel geben und dann auf einen Topf mit köchelndem Wasser stellen (die Schüssel darf das Wasser nicht berühren). Die Mischung so lange verrühren, bis die Mischung 71°C (160°F) erreicht hat bzw. sich der Zucker komplett aufgelöst hat – dauert in etwa 5-6 Minuten. Die Schüssel vom Herd nehmen und die Masse mit der Küchenmaschine oder einem Handmixer für weitere 5-6 Minuten aufschlagen, bis die Masse sehr dick und glänzend ist – die Schüssel sollte nur noch handwarm sein. Das Frosting in einen Spritzbeutel mit großer runder Öffnung füllen.

    4. In die Cupcakes mit einem Cupcake Corer oder scharfen Messer eine Mulde schneiden, den Teig darin entfernen und mit den Amarena Kirschen und dem Sirup aus dem Glas befüllen. Eine gute Portion Frosting auf jeden Cupcake aufspritzen und dann für mindestens 30 Minuten in den Kühlschrank stellen.

    5. Während die Cupcakes durchkühlen, die Schokolade für die Glasur schmelzen (in der Mikrowelle) und dann mit dem Öl glattrühren und dann ebenfalls abkühlen lassen. Wenn die Glasur maximal nur noch Handwarm ist, die Cupcakes darin eintauchen, bis das Frosting komplett bedeckt ist. Auf ein Kuchengitter stellen und die Schokolade antrocknen lassen. Servieren.

      Hey kann man sie auch einen Abend vorher vorbereiten und dann im Kühlschrank über Nacht lassen? Oder schmecken sie nur frisch?
      Liebe Grüße

        Die schmecken auch noch einen Tag später ;) Wenn man sie im Kühlschrank lagert, kann es allerdings sein, dass sie Schokolade irgendwann anfängt graue Schleier zu bekommen… das hängt ja immer davon ab, ob die Schokolade gut temperiert war. Macht den Geschmack allerdings nicht schlechter ;)
