White Claw Black Cherry Cupcakes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and position a rack in the middle of the oven. Line one 12-cup standard muffin tin with cupcake liners.
• Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl. Stir the milk and vanilla together in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Add the butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or in a large bowl if using a handheld electric mixer).
• Mix on low speed until the butter is smooth, about 1 minute. Gradually beat in 1/2 cup of the sugar. Increase the speed to high and beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Reduce the mixer speed to low. Add about one-third of the flour mixture and beat until just combined. Add half the milk mixture and beat until smooth. Repeat, adding flour, then milk, and then the rest of the flour, stopping and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat briefly to make a smooth batter.
• Put the egg whites in a clean bowl. Whip on high speed until foamy. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and continue to beat until the egg whites are glossy and hold stiff peaks, about 10 minutes. Fold the whites into the batter in three batches. Divide the cake batter evenly between the liners.
• Bake until a tester inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean, rotating the tin about halfway through, about 20 minutes.
• Cool the cupcakes on a rack in the tin for 10 minutes, and then remove from the tin. Cool on the rack completely.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line twenty-four 2 1/2-inch muffin cups with paper baking cups and set aside. In a large bowl, combine the chocolate milk, oil, eggs and the cake mix; beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds. Using a rubber spatula, scrape down sides of the bowl and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes more. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each two-thirds full. Bake until a wooden pick inserted in the centers comes out clean, 18 to 24 minutes. Remove from the muffin tins and cool on wire racks. For the marshmallow filling, in a large microwave-safe bowl, microwave the butter on high setting (100 percent power) for 20 seconds. Stir in the marshmallow creme. Microwave on medium setting (50 percent power) for 1 minute more. Cool for 2 minutes, and then beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Make a 1/2-inch slit in the bottom center of each cupcake. Spoon the marshmallow filling into a pastry bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe the filling into the slits in the cupcakes. Place the chocolate chips in a medium microwave-safe bowl and set aside. In a small saucepan, combine the cream and corn syrup. Cook over medium heat just until boiling. Pour over the chocolate chips and stir until completely smooth. If not completely smooth, microwave on medium setting (50 percent power) for 2 minutes. Cool until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Dip the cupcake tops into the chocolate mixture. If necessary, use a knife to smooth the tops. Place the cupcakes into another paper liner and let the chocolate harden a bit. Spoon the vanilla frosting into a pastry bag filled with a small round tip. Pipe a line of small loops across the center of each cupcake. Allow the chocolate mixture to set.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners and spray lightly with cooking spray.
• Beat the cake mix, 1 1/3 cups of the hard seltzer and the eggs together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until smooth and combined, about 2 minutes. Divide evenly among the prepared muffin tins (each cup should be about three-quarters full). Bake until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes. Turn cupcakes out onto a wire rack and cool completely.
• Meanwhile, stir 2 tablespoons of the remaining lime seltzer with the lemon curd in a small bowl until combined. Set aside until ready to assemble.
• Scoop out a 1/2-inch-wide and 1/2-inch-deep hole from the center of each cupcake top using a small measuring spoon. Fill each hole with the spiked lemon curd (about 1 1/2 teaspoons per cupcake).
• Beat the vanilla frosting in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a large round pastry tip. Pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes to cover the curd, leaving the edge exposed. Top each with a lime candy wedge.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Prepare a cupcake pan with 24 cupcake liners.
• Combine the cake flour, pudding mix, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in 1 medium bowl. Crack the eggs into a second bowl and add the vanilla extract. Measure the milk and half-and-half into a third bowl. In a 5-quart mixer with a paddle attachment, cream the butter until fluffy. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides using a spatula. Turn the mixer on first speed, add the sugar, and mix until fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time. Scrape down the bowl. Add sour cream and mayonnaise and incorporate completely. Scrape down the bowl. Add the dry ingredients, alternating with wet. You will start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix the batter until smooth and no lumps are present.
• De-stem the maraschino cherries and squeeze out the excess liquid. Using a food processor, mince the cherries using the pulse button. Do not over process. Add the minced cherries, cherry juice, and white chocolate chips to the batter. Incorporate the ingredients completely using a spatula. Fill the cupcake liners using a 2-ounce scoop. Bake until golden brown and light and fluffy, 17 minutes. Let the cupcakes cool completely before decorating.
• To assemble: Place a round tip # 809 into a large piping bag. Fill the piping bag with Casey's Buttercream and generously pipe onto each cupcake. Garnish each cupcake with 1 maraschino cherry and 5 large pearls. Finish by sprinkling edible glitter over the tops of the cupcakes.
• In a 5-quart mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and shortening together. On first speed, add the sifted powdered sugar to the bowl in 3 parts. Let each part incorporate into the butter mixture before adding the next. After adding all the sugar, put the mixer on the fourth (highest) speed and mix for 8 to 10 minutes. The buttercream will begin to gain volume and look white and fluffy. Once you bring the buttercream to full volume, add the extracts and vodka and incorporate completely.
