Super Moist Gluten Free Cherry Chocolate Cupcakes

Over the weekend I needed a dessert that our friends would enjoy, that was gluten free. I had made gluten free chocolate cupcakes before using King Arthur Flour's chocolate cake mix, but decided to add a little kick of flavor with Duncan Hines Comstock Pie Filling.

Here is how I did it...

Super Moist Gluten Free Cherry Chocolate Cupcakes

Yield 24 - 30 Cupcakes

1 box of King Arthur Flour Chocolate Cake Mix

1 21oz can of Duncan Hines Comstock Cherry Pie Filling

4 eggs

Mix these three ingredients in a bowl until combined, trying not to mash all the cherries. Fill cupcake liners 2/3 full. Bake per instructions on the box. 

The Creamiest Chocolate Buttercream Frosting

2 3/4 C Powdered Sugar

6 tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

6 tablespoons room temperature Butter

5 tablespoons Heavy Cream

1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

*2-4 tablespoons of Milk (to loosen frosting if too thick)

Whisk together sugar and cocoa powder. Add butter, heavy cream and vanilla. If frosting is too thick, loosen with a tablespoon at a time of milk. 

Enjoy! 

DFTBA,
