Jag vet vad ni tänker. Inlagda körsbär? Vem äter det egentligen? Det för genast tankarna till den där pralinen i Aladdins chokladask som alltid blir ensam kvar (förutom när min bror är i närheten). Men jag lovar, i det här sammanhanget är det faktiskt väldigt gott! Självklart går de att utesluta om man vet att man inte tycker om dem, men de gör ganska mycket för smaken faktiskt.
Annars försöker jag mest hitta anledningar att få fota körsbär. De är så naturligt vackra och väldigt tacksamma att fotografera!
Chokladcupcakes
Cirka 10 st
•200 g mjöl
•2 msk kakao
•0,5 tsk bikarbonat
•180 g socker
•50 g rumsvarmt smör
•1 stort ägg
•0,5 tsk vaniljpulver
•0,5 dl rapsolja
•0,5 dl filmjölk
Fyllning:
•Körsbär i rom
Värm ugnen till 150 grader C. Blanda de torra ingredienserna i en skål. Vispa rumsvarmt smör och socker fluffigt i en annan skål. Tillsätt ägget och olja och vispa till en jämn smet. Tillsätt de torra ingredienserna och filmjölken i omgångar, börja och sluta med mjölet. Fyll muffinsformarna till 2/3 och grädda cirka 25-30 minuter. Låt svalna. Skär ett litet hål i varje muffin och fyll med ett körsbär.
Whipped cream cheese frosting
•150 gram cream cheese
•1,5 dl grädde
•0,5 tsk vaniljextrakt
•1 dl florsocker
Vispa grädden i en stor skål. Blanda cream cheese, florsocker och vaniljextrakt i en annan skål. Häll över cream cheeseblandningen i vispgrädden och vispa ytterligare. Känns frostingen för lös, ställ den i kylskåpet en stund.

I know what you’re thinking. Cherries in rum? Who the heck eats that? The first thing I think of is the chocolate praline filled with preserved cherries from the chocolate box Aladdin (which we usually eat around christmas in Sweden) which are always the only ones left in the box (except when my brother is around). But I promise, in this case they are delicious! If you know you don’t like them, simply exclude them and replace with something else. They really do taste great in this recipe though!
Other than that I’m just looking for excuses to take pictures of cherries. They are so beautiful and very gratifying to photograph!
Chocolate cupcakes
Makes approx. 10
•200 g flour
•2 tbsp cocoa powder
•0,5 tsp baking soda
•180 g sugar
•50 g butter, at room temperature
•1 large egg
•0,5 tsp vanilla powder
•0,5 dl canola oil
•0,5 dl buttermilk
Filling:
•Preserved cherries in rum (optional)
Preheat oven to 150 degrees C. Mix dry ingredients in a bowl. With an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add oil and egg beating well.
Add flour mixture and buttermilk in three additions, beginning and ending with the flour. Scrape down sides of bowl. Fill paper liners about 2/3 full and bake for about 25-30 minutes. Let the cupcakes cool while you make the frosting. Cut a hole in the center of each cupcake and fill with a (or more if you want to) preserved cherry.
Whipped cream cheese frosting
•150 grams cream cheese
•1,5 dl heavy whipping cream
•0,5 teaspoon vanilla extract
•1 dl powdered sugar
Whip the cream in a large bowl. Mix cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla in another bowl. Mix everything together and whip until smooth. If the frosting is runny, put the bowl in the fridge for a while.

I could dive right into the cream and pull the cherry down over my head. Delightful.

Hi Linda, just need to ask – for preserve cherries in rum, do we just soak fresh cherries (maybe cut in half?) in rum like overnight or something? Thanks!
