    Mix butter, melted at room temperature, with sugar.

    In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk until fluffy foam is obtained.
    We introduce the resulting egg mass to the butter. We mix everything, turning it into a homogeneous viscous consistency.

    Add sour cream (or, if desired, yogurt, kefir, yogurt), stir again and beat.

    In turn, pour cocoa, sifted flour and baking powder into a liquid consistency. Mix until a plastic homogeneous structure is obtained.

    The dough is ready - you can lay it out in a special form for a cake. The bottom, which is pre-covered with baking paper, lubricated with vegetable oil to prevent burning, or in silicone molds, filling the volume with dough mass by 2/3.

    We spread the cherries cut in half on the surface of the product, slightly sink them into the dough or mix them initially.
    On average, a cherry muffin takes 40–50 minutes to cook in a preheated oven at 190–200 degrees.

Let's start making frosting
  • Melt the required amount of dark chocolate with milk in a water bath.
  • Separately, dissolve pieces of light tiles with vegetable oil.
  • Mix each type of chocolate until a glossy consistency is formed.

    • We first apply a dark mass to the cooled cake, then cover it with white icing on top with large strokes.

    Cupcakes with cherries and chocolate are prepared in a certain sequence, where butter and sugar are first rubbed, then beaten eggs are added, then sour cream or kefir, and at the end dry ingredients.

    In the American analogue of a cake, a muffin uses less sugar and more liquid components - milk and eggs. In the cooking process, all dry ingredients are mixed in a separate bowl, then all liquid ones. Then they are connected according to the principle - watery is poured onto the loose mass. Moreover, the resulting consistency is only interfered with and never whipped.

    For the Cherry Chocolate Muffin you will need:

    • 200 g flour;
    • dark chocolate bar;
    • 80 g of sugar;
    • 50 g butter, not less than 82.5% fat;
    • 1 egg;
    • 200 ml of milk;
    • 80 g cherries;
    • 2 tsp baking powder.

    Add an egg to the chocolate melted in a water bath, add milk here and mix everything. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder and sugar. Then we mix all the ingredients. The main thing is to mix in all the flour. Then add cherries.

    • If frozen cherries are used in chocolate cake recipes, they must first be thawed and drained of excess liquid. Berries should be pitted.
    • To get a fluffy biscuit for baking, you need to separate the egg into whites and yolks, and then beat them separately. Add in parts starting from ¼ of the total mass, stirring gently from bottom to top in one direction. In proteins at room temperature, the formation of air bubbles is faster and they more easily turn into foam. Therefore, 2 hours before the cooking process, you need to get the eggs from the refrigerator.
    • During cooking, do not open the oven, otherwise, due to sudden changes in temperature, the biscuit will settle. It is better to leave the finished cherry cake in the oven until it cools completely.
    • It is better to decorate a cake that has already cooled down with icing, because at room temperature the bulk of the coating will remain on the surface, and will not leak into the dessert.

    What culinary delights you would not dare to - the main thing is to follow a clear cooking sequence.

    Today in our dessert menu there is a classic and beloved by many combination of cherries and chocolate in delicate fragrant muffins. I just love portioned pastries like cupcakes or muffins, because they look very cute and appetizing, especially in cheerful paper cuffs, do not litter the entire kitchen with crumbs due to constant cutting, and besides, they are convenient to take with you to school or work for delicious snack, uplifting and adding energy and strength. Its most important advantage, which helps to maintain a slender figure, is that you don’t have to guess and suffer what portion of dessert to cut off for yourself - more or less, since one standard cupcake is just the optimal portion in order to get pleasure and don't add extra calories.

    Chocolate muffins with cherries are prepared simply and quickly enough, and the result is a very noble and exquisite dessert. The rich deep taste of real dark chocolate, which is part of this baking, is harmoniously set off by sour and refreshing cherries. Although cupcake batter usually has a fairly dense texture, these chocolate cupcakes are very soft and juicy inside and literally melt in your mouth. Their delicate, moderately sweet chocolate pulp carries a delicate aroma of lemon and a barely perceptible plume of noble red wine. Be sure to try preparing this delicious chocolate-cherry treat for a cup of tea or coffee!

    Useful Information How to Make Chocolate Cherry Cupcakes - Recipe for Chocolate Cupcakes with Fresh or Frozen Cherries with step by step photos

    INGREDIENTS:

    • 250 g flour in the dough + 1 tbsp. l. for cherries
    • 150 g butter
    • 100 g sugar
    • 4 eggs
    • 70 g dark chocolate
    • 1 st. l. cocoa powder
    • 50 ml dry red wine (can be replaced with milk)
    • 1 tsp lemon peel
    • 1 tsp baking powder
    • 400 g cherries (fresh or frozen)

    COOKING METHOD:

    1. In order to make chocolate muffins with cherries, first melt the chocolate with butter in a water bath. To do this, cut the butter into cubes, break the chocolate into separate squares and put everything in a deep bowl.

    For convenience, I melted the chocolate directly in the metal bowl of the food processor. You can also do this in a separate saucepan, then pour the melted chocolate into a bowl for whipping.

    2. Insert the bowl of chocolate into another larger bowl so that it does not touch the bottom. Pour some hot water into the bottom of a large saucepan and place over medium heat. Stir the chocolate and butter continuously until they turn into a thick and shiny homogeneous mass. Cool the melted chocolate for 10 minutes.

    3. Add sugar, cocoa powder, lemon zest and dry red wine to the melted chocolate. Beat all ingredients with a mixer at high speed for 1-2 minutes.

    Advice! If cupcakes are prepared for children, then it is better to replace the wine with the same amount of milk or cherry juice (for example, from defrosted cherries).


    4. Add eggs one at a time, beating the dough for 1 minute each time.

    5. Pour the flour sifted with baking powder in two steps and knead the dough thoroughly until smooth.

    6. Now let's prepare the cherry for chocolate muffins. Wash fresh cherries thoroughly and remove the pits from them. If the berries were frozen, they should first be thawed, drained of the released juice and dried on a paper towel. Mix prepared cherries with 1 tbsp. l. flour.

    7. Put the cherries in the dough and carefully, trying not to damage the berries, mix everything with a wooden or silicone spatula.

    8. Divide the dough into portioned cupcake molds, inserting paper cuffs into them first. You can fill the forms to the top, as the dough does not rise very much in the oven.

    9. Bake chocolate muffins with cherries in an oven preheated to 180 ° C for 25 - 30 minutes. Check the readiness of the cupcakes with a wooden toothpick - it should come out dry from the middle of the cupcake.
