What you need:

3 eggs
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup caster sugar

½ Milk

1½ cups self-raising flour

¼ cup cocoa powder
1 tablespoon kirsch liqueur

Topping:

100g thickened cream
12 fresh cherries
¼ cup chocolate, shaved

1. Preheat the oven to 160°C. Line a 12-cupcake pan with cupcake papers. In a medium sized bowl, lightly beat the eggs, add butter and sugar, then mix until light and fluffy.
2. Add milk, flour and cocoa powder and stir to combine. Beat with an electric mixer for 2 minutes, until light and creamy, then fold through kirsch liqueur.
3. Divide the mixture evenly between the cupcake papers. Bake for 18-20 minutes until risen and firm to the touch. Allow to cool for a few minutes and then transfer to a wire rack. Allow to cool fully before icing.

Topping


Meanwhile, whip cream until stiff peaks form, then top each cake with a dollop of cream, a sprinkle of chocolate shavings and a fresh cherry.
