Cherry Cupcakes

Cookinero 19 Oct 2025

Delicate cupcakes with cherries and cheese cream can become the main dish of the holiday table. Bright pink cupcakes with whole berries melt in your mouth, leaving a sweet aftertaste. For cupcakes, take frozen cherries - this way you will not have to mess with the pits. In addition, store-bought berries tolerate baking better. Mascarpone-based cream neutralizes the sweetness of the cupcakes, and it is also much healthier and tastier than traditional butter cream.

Cherry Cupcakes - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can omit the cherries if you prefer. The cupcakes will still be delicious, though they'll have a more subtle flavor. You might want to add a little extra vanilla extract to compensate for the missing fruit flavor.
This recipe uses all-purpose flour, which works well. For a gluten-free version, use a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour. Keep in mind that different flours absorb moisture differently, so the batter's consistency might change slightly.
Store the cooled cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to 5 days. The frosting is best when fresh, so consider storing frosted cupcakes in the fridge.
Yes, you can bake the cupcakes a day in advance. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature. Frost them just before serving for the best texture and flavor. The unfrosted cupcakes also freeze well for up to 3 months.
Ensure your bowl and beaters are completely clean and free of any grease, as even a little fat can prevent egg whites from foaming. Also, make sure the eggs are at room temperature. If they're still not whipping, add a pinch of cream of tartar to help stabilize them.
Yes, but thaw and thoroughly drain them first to avoid adding extra moisture to the batter. Pat them dry with a paper towel before adding them to the mix to prevent soggy cupcakes.
The cupcakes are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. The tops should be lightly golden. Don't overbake them, as they can dry out. Remember, they'll continue to cook a bit from residual heat after being removed from the oven.
