The recipe for these cupcakes was born from my great love for the Drunken Cherry cake. Isn’t a chocolate sponge cake soaked in cognac notes, a delicate cream and freshness of cherries an ideal combination?

Butter | 100 g |
Flour | 200 g |
Sugar | 200 g |
Eggs | 2 pcs. |
Milk | 120 ml |
Baking powder | 1 teaspoon |
Cocoa | 5 tablespoon |
Vanilla sugar | 1 sachet |
Salt | A pinch |
Fresh or canned cherries | 0.5 kg |
Cognac or Whiskey | 2 tablespoon |
Butter | 100 g |
Powdered sugar | 150-170 g |
Philadelphia cheese | 400 g |
Fresh cherries (for decoration) | 20 pcs. |
Instruction:
- First, beat with mixer the softened butter with sugar.

- While the cupcakes are baking, add a couple of tablespoons of whiskey or cognac to the cherry juice.
- When the cupcakes are ready and have cooled slightly, pierce them with a toothpick evenly over the entire surface and pour cherry juice with whiskey, trying to get into the holes made.
Cream:
For the cream, first beat with mixer the butter softened to room temperature, 3-4 minutes. Add the powdered sugar and continue to whisk.
Add Philadelphia cheese and beat until smooth. For beauty, the cream can be tinted with a little red food coloring.
Put the cream in a pastry bag, make a cream cap on cupcakes and decorate with fresh cherries on top.
