Black forest cupcakes

Did I mention the word diet last week? Calories control? OMG I bitched each and every gram that I lost last week. Nevertheless, back in the kitchen for some awesome cupcakes. I had the idea at the grocery store and had to make myself a memo on the phone to remember (yeah, I know… pathetic). So, thank to the memo to self I remembered to take out the butter in time, prepare the ganache in the morning and everything was ready for afternoon tea.

Ingredients:

• 190g sugar
• 200g flour
• 60g cocoa
• 2 eggs
• 50g butter
• 150ml milk
• salt
• 70ml cream
• 150 dark chocolate
• cream
• chocolate
• candied cherries

Method:

1. prepare the ganache by microwaving the chocolate with the cream in short blasts and whisking it;
2. prepare the batter and bake the cupcakes at 180°C for 15-20 minutes, leave to cool completely;
3. have some dark chokolate and beat the remaining of the cream;
4. make a hole in the cupcake, ad a spoon of the liquid of the cherries, add half a cherry and a spoon of ganache and cover;
5. pipe some whipped cream on top, decorate with the shaved chocolate and add a cherry on top (how apt 😉 ).
