Black Forest Cupcakes

Hey there guys! I made Black Forest Cupcakes for my friend for her birthday. These cupcakes are based off the Black Forest Cakes that people make that have cherry filling and a chocoalte cake that also has whipped cream instead of frosting. These were a lot of fun to make as I had to actually cut open the cupcakes in order to put the cherry filling inside.

As you can see you can take a sharp knife and cut a circle in the top of the cupcake at an angle all the way around. Take off the top and then fill, cut the bottom piece of cake off the part you removed; this is so that you can plug it back up.



She was so happy with them! I actually think they look pretty cute. Since I did not have the cocoa powder or brown sugar needed to make the chocolate cupcakes from scratch, you can make box mix taste even more awesome with these simple tips, as learn from the book Hello, Cupcake!

-replace the amount of water on the box with 1 cup of buttermilk.

-use the same amount of oil as on the box.

- replace the number of eggs with 4 eggs.

Bake as you normally would and when you try them you will defiantely taste the difference!
