How to Make Cherry Cupcakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 24-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Prepare your favorite chocolate cake mix according to package directions, using the specified amounts of eggs, water, and oil.
  3. Spoon batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  4. Remove 24 cherries from a 21-ounce can of cherry pie filling and set aside.
  5. Spoon a generous teaspoon (approximately 5ml) of the remaining cherry pie filling onto the center of each cupcake batter.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Once completely cool, frost the cupcakes with your favorite vanilla frosting. Garnish each cupcake with a reserved cherry.
