recipe Powdered Sugar Icing*
1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Line thirty 1-3/4-inch muffin cups with miniature paper bake cups;* set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add milk, butter, egg, and vanilla. Beat on low speed until combined. Beat on medium speed for 1 minute. Spoon 1 scant teaspoon of batter into each muffin cup. Add 1/2 teaspoon of cherry marmalade and top with 1/2 teaspoon additional batter.
3. Bake cupcakes about 12 minutes or until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool in pans on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove from pans; cool completely on wire rack.
4. Pat cherries dry with clean paper toweling. Frost each cupcake with about 1/2 teaspoon icing. Dip half of each cherry into remaining icing; place on top of baby cakes. Makes about 30 small cakes.
- Tip *Test Kitchen Tip:If you dont have 1-3/4-inch muffin cups, line sixteen 2-1/2-inch muffin cups with paper bake cups. Prepare batter as directed. Spoon 1 tablespoon batter into each prepared muffin cup. Add 1 teaspoon of marmalade and another tablespoon of batter. (You will only use about 1/3 cup marmalade.) Bake about 15 minutes or until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Frost with Powdered Sugar Icing. Add a cherry as directed above. (You will only need 16 cherries.)

They were delicious, but there's no way this will make 16 standard sized cupcakes. I got 12 out of it, and they were none too generous.
12/17/2010 07:22:52 AM Report AbuseThese were amazing and very easy to make. The Powdered Sugar icing made WAY TOO MUCH-So I will only make a 1/4 recipe of that next time. I also added a little bit of cherry juice into the milk that was used in the cupcake batter. Very yummy! Huge hit at game night and work the next day!
