Black Forest Cake is a sweet combination of Chocolate and Cherry, a classic cake choice. Making it in a handheld cupcake form only seems right! These moist, chocolate cupcakes are topped with a creamy, cherry frosting and filled with the sweet cherry cream! Read on for the full recipe to make these Black Forest Cupcakes!
Black Forest Cupcakes
Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees. Place cupcake liners in a pan.
In a large bowl mix flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Gradually add in the eggs, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and butter. Mix well until there are no lumps.
Fill the cupcake liners leaving about an inch from the top.
Place in oven and bake for about 15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let them cool completely.
Once they’re cool you can use a cupcake corer (or a knife) to remove a small circle out of the middle of each cupcake.
To prepare the frosting you’ll need cool whip, frozen cherries, and brown sugar. Mix them together in the food processor. Once it’s thoroughly mixed you can spoon some into the middle of the cupcke.
This frosting is so yummy, try not to eat it all before you get it on the cupcakes! Use the rest to cover the top!
This frosting is a little thin, but it really does stick to the top (kind of like the frosting on hostess cupcakes). It’s perfect because it pairs so well with the chocolate!
Finally, Garnish them with a cherry. Refrigerate for about twenty minutes before serving!

These sweet bars are the best of both worlds! Sugar Cookie meets Cherry Cheesecake. Cherry Cheesecake Sugar Cookie Bars are easy to make and oh so yummy! These don’t last long in our house, and Christmas or Thanksgiving watch out, these desserts are the first to go.
Cherry Cheesecake Sugar Cookie Bars
I’ll be using prepared sugar cookie dough, neufchatel cheese (Which is basically the same as cream cheese, it just has less fat. You can use either.), sugar, cherry pie filling, eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon juice.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a a 9×13 baking dish with parchment paper. Spray with non stick spray.
In a bowl mix the sugar, sour cream, eggs, vanilla, lemon juice, and neufchatel cheese. Set aside.
Add Cream Cheese to the bowl!
Add the Vanilla Extract & the Lemon Juice!
Add the sugar & the sour cream!
Add the eggs!
Blend, blend, blend!
After that take your cookie dough out of the fridge and spread it out evenly on the bottom of your lined pan.
Then, add the cream cheese mixture on top.
Finally, place the pan in the oven and bake for about 35 minutes. You can tell the bars are done when it starts to brown on top and after you place a toothpick in the middle and it comes out clean!
Let the bars cool completely. Cut them into squares and add the cherry topping.
They taste best eaten within a day or two but, they can easily be frozen for a few weeks as well!

These King Cake Pull Apart Doughnuts are the perfect way to celebrate Mardi Gras. They even have a special surprise inside: Raspberry & Chocolate filling!
They only take about 10 minutes to prep then they get popped in the oven to bake! To make these scrumptious doughnuts you’ll need: puff pastry, chocolate hazelnut spread, raspberry jam, some food coloring, and some sprinkles!
King Cake Pull Apart Doughnuts
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Spray a cupcake pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Next, start by slicing your puff pastry into three different strips.
On the first strip spread purple sprinkles over it generously. On the next strip place a few drops of green food coloring, and using a spoon spread it across. Then do the same on the third strip with the yellow food coloring.
Once you have your strips colored, slice each of them into two more strips lengthwise (You should have 6 strips total). Now, slice those in half once horizontally.
Take one yellow strip, one purple strip, and one green strip and lay them flat together touching with their colored side facing down. Spread 1 tsp of raspberry jam and one tsp of chocolate hazelnut spread on them.
Then twist them closed, keeping the filling inside!
Place them one by one in the cupcake pan as you finish. Once you’ve twisted each of them and added them to the pan, place the pan in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes.
The doughnuts are done when the dough is a light golden brown, and if you stick a toothpick in them it comes out clean!
These make for a festive breakfast on Mardi Gras! They are the perfect size and are best eaten warm!
I sprinkled the tops with a little powdered sugar as well!
On first strip spread purple sprinkles over it generously.
5
On next strip place a few drops of green food coloring, and using a spoon spread it across.
6
Do the same on the third strip but, with the yellow food coloring.
7
Once strips are colored, slice each of them into two more strips lengthwise (You should have 6 strips total).
8
Now, slice those in half once horizontally. (For a total of 12 strips altogether!)
9
Take one yellow strip, one purple strip, and one green strip and lay them flat together touching with their colored side facing down.
10
Spread 1 tsp of raspberry jam and one tsp of chocolate hazelnut spread on them.
11
Then twist them closed, keeping the filling inside!
12
Place each twist in the cupcake pan as you finish.
13
Bake for about 30 minutes.
14
The doughnuts are done when the dough is a light golden brown, and if you stick a toothpick in them it comes out clean!
King Cake Baby
Traditionally King Cake has a little plastic baby inside and whoever receives the piece with the baby “wins”. They are then treated like royalty the whole night.
You can carry on this tradition by placing a baby in the middle of one of the doughnuts After it’s baked and cooled – just be cautious to let everyone know before hand that one of them does contain a baby! (And I would not try this with children!)
You can even simply place a the baby on top for decoration! If you cannot find a “Marci Gras” section at your local store just head on over to the baby shower section of any craft store or Walmart. You can generally find a whole pack of plastic babies for less than $2.00!
