Inside each of these cupcakes is a fruity surprise! I start with a convenient cake mix to produce these special treats. Ingredients:
1 package chocolate cake mix (regular size) |
1-1/3 cups water |
1/2 cup canola oil |
3 eggs |
1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling |
1 can (16 ounces) vanilla frosting |
chocolate curls, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, water, oil and eggs; beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium for 2 minutes.
2. Spoon batter by 1/4 cupfuls into paper-lined muffin cups. Place a rounded teaspoonful of pie filling in the center of each cupcake. Set remaining pie filling aside.
3. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
4. Frost cupcakes; top each with one cherry from pie filling. Refrigerate remaining pie filling for another use. Garnish with chocolate curls if desired. Yield: 2 dozen.
