Sure, these are great for Valentine’s Day, but even better? Mother’s Day dessert, look no further! My Mom loved these cupcakes, and seriously who wouldn’t? A chocolate cupcake with a cherry pie filling, topped with sweetened whipped cream and chocolate, yeah no one could turn it down.

Black Forest Cupcakes

Have you ever had a towering slice of layered Black Forest Chocolate Cake? It ruins all other chocolate cakes for you. The combination of chocolate and cherry is always delicious, but the textures in a cake make it even more drool-worthy. These decadent Black Forest cupcakes are perfectly chocolatey with a soft and moist crumb and that cherry pie filling, well try not to eat it by the spoonful before you fill the cupcakes. In a way, these remind me of a ding-dong type cupcake but with of course the bonus of that delicious filling. I’ll take juicy cherry pie filling over cream filling any day! I think they would also be good with a raspberry or strawberry pie filling if you are wanting to switch it up a bit but try the cherry version at least once. It’s a classic for a reason! Everyone is going to love the surprise pie filling inside! These cupcakes are perfect for parties—and adults especially love the Black Forest flavor. We like to make them for my mom’s birthday and Mother’s Day, and the chocolate-cherry combo is also perfect for Valentine’s Day! I recommend serving with a tall glass of cold milk! Enjoy! Now let’s see what’s inside…
