CHOCOLATE CHERRY CUPCAKES
A Nigella Lawson recipe that always has people asking for more - even people who don't normally eat chocolate cakes. Very morish. Use the best jam you can afford. If you use a relatively cheap jam, it'll probably be sweeter so use less sugar. You could also try adding a splash of kirsch to the batter and icing if you so desire. Very easy to make too.

Tips:

- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, dense cupcakes. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a cupcake scoop to fill the cupcake liners. This will help to ensure that all of the cupcakes are the same size and shape.
- Bake the cupcakes in a preheated oven. This will help to prevent the cupcakes from sinking in the center.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
