Black Forest Cupcake 黑森林杯子蛋糕

Cherry.... Chocolate... Fresh cream... Yea it is the Black Forest cake I am talking about! Black Forest cake is a delightful dessert and an all time classic. Despite the sprouting of many new designs of cake, these black beauty doesn't seem to lose out at all, you can still find them in almost any bakery shop. Making it cupcake size? It is simply an added fun!

All right, in fact, this is just to please my little ones who love everything in their mini size. That 'wow' look on their face? That is priceless.

This is a surprise-inside cupcake. A whole pitted cherry stay hidden inside the cake just right beneath the frosting! Here I used a new found favorite of mine - cooked flour frosting, but of course you may use any frosting that you are comfortable with.
