Categories     Cakes

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 box white cake mix with pudding
1 pkg 0.14 oz. cherry flavored unsweetened soft drink mix
1/4 c water
1/3 c vegetable oil
t tsp almond extract
3 egg whites
FOR GLAZE:
2 lb powdered sugar
1/2 c water
1/2 c corn syrup
2 tsp almond extract
2 to 3 tsp hot water
holiday decorations or candy hearts
piping bag or zip-lock bag

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 375 degrees or 325 degrees for dark or nonstick pans.
  • 2. Grease only the bottoms only of about 60 mini muffin cups with shortening or cooking spray, or you can use liners.
  • 3. In a large bowl, beat all mini cake ingredients with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, then beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping sides of bowl occasionally.
  • 4. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups about 1/2 full. If using one pan at a time, refrigerate batter while the other little cakes are baking. Wash pan before filling with batter again, or place new liners.
  • 5. Bake 10 to 13 minutes, do a toothpick test and if it comes out clean, remove the cakes to a wire rack and cool for about 5 minutes then remove them from the pan to cool completely.
  • 6. Place the cupcakes on a wire rack with a drip pan below or use waxed paper to catch the dripping glaze.
  • 7. In a 3-quart saucepan, mix all glaze ingredients except the hot water on low-heat, stirring frequently until sugar is dissolved.
  • 8. Remove from heat. Stir in 2 teaspoons hot water. If necessary, stir in up to 1 teaspoon more water so glaze will just coat the cakes.
  • 9. Turn each cake, top side down on cooling rack. Pour about 1 Tbsp. of glaze over each cake, letting the glaze coat the sides. Let stand until the glaze is set, about 15 minutes.
  • 10. Top each cake with your chosen decorations. Store covered at room temperature.
  • 11. Can also be frozen for up to 2 weeks.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 c dried blueberries
1 c dried cherries
1/2 c white chocolate chips
1¼ cups butter, softened
2¾ cups granulated sugar
5 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
glaze, frosting or icing

  • 2. Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Add flour mixture alternately with sweetened condensed milk to creamed mixture, mixing lightly after each addition.
  • 3. Fold in fruit and white chcocolate. Turn batter evenly into 6 greased and floured mini loaf pans (I used my perfect brownie pan and it required less baking time)
  • 4. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean.
  • 5. Let cool in pans 5 minutes; invert on wire racks and let cool completely. Decorate as desired. Makes 6 mini loafs.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe cherries. This will give your cakes the best flavor and texture.
  • Pit the cherries before using them. You can use a cherry pitter or a knife to do this.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cakes tough.
  • Bake the cakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
