Chocolate Cranberry Cupcakes 巧克力蔓越莓杯子蛋糕
I love these Chocolate Cranberry Cupcakes. They are chocolately and soft. The tangy sweetness of the dried cranberries in the cake made a perfect combination that I’m sure nobody can resist to have a bite. This is also an idea treat for breakfast or snack or even for any occasion. Have a try on this recipe and I’m sure you will agree. ♥

Can I replace baking soda w baking powder?
Yes, you just omit the baking soda as it was only 1/2tsp.
你好!请问我可以用7寸蛋糕模来烘吗?
Hi Jiunmei, 应该可以啊,不过以防万一,还是多准备一个8寸蛋糕模比较好。
These cuppies are so delicious with different texture. Love the crunchy bits of cranberries in it. And yes yes also the lovely chocolate fragrant from the cuppies 🙂

Ann, your last instruction for cream you said to mix whipping cream and milo together? But ingredients list no milo. How much milo to add?
Sorry Clara, that was a typo error.

蔓越莓和 rum 酒一起加入面糊内吗?巧克力和蔓越莓,可以想像一定很好吃 ^_^
是啊,把两样加入面糊内就可以了。真的很好吃 🙂
Mmm…Ann these look so good, I must try them, and perfect I have some dried and fresh cranberries, dried cherries too. So many options, and so irresistible with the ganache on top!
Hi Lyndsey, I think it's really good to add berries in the bakes especially with liquer.

Dudut,Thanks for the invite! Cranberries here are also quite expensive. But I just love to add them in my bakes 🙂
加了巧克力酱的蛋糕,真的太太太吸引了~不过,我刚把家里的蔓越莓干都用完了。下次才试试这道蛋糕。
Shan,先要谢谢你, 这食谱真的很容易做,有空要试试看哦。
Anne, these cuppies are sooooo pretty!
Thanks Edith!
What lovely cupcakes and the cranberries make it for me. Thanks for the recipe, I can't wait to try them in my own kitchen.
Thank you Maureen for dropping by. Hope you will love this after trying it:)
Oh wow, delicious!!
Thank you for the recipe..they look sooo cute specially the flower,could you tell me how you made that?
Hi Farwah,You're welcome. I did not make that chocolate flower, it was store bought from the bakery shop.
That ganache looks absolutely perfect! 🙂
i want to lick the ganache right now!!
Looks so good that I want to have a bite right now from my monitor hehehe …
Love it Ann! So pretty with a little flower on the top (^.^)

Choc Chip Uru : Thank you for dropping by and your nice comment 🙂
These are ridiculously adorable, and I KNOW I would love it!
I haven't made cupcakes for a long while (not a big fan) and suddenly after seeing this, I have the urge to bite into one. See what you've done?! I am imagining the flavors of the cranberries, chocolate and rum and I'm just dying to make these. Ok, no more talking, going to make some now! 😀
Ping,Then you must try this. I assure you this is really good 🙂
Hi Ping, Of Course you can post it up because you baked it :)WOW … I'm excited to see your post ^-^
Hi Ann. I actually did go off and baked some right after the first comment. I think I was too impatient and couldn't wait for the rum to soak the cranberries for an hour so the berries didn't get too much rum flavor BUT they tasted so much nicer the next day and I'd also drizzled some more rum onto the cupcakes 😀 Do you mind if I make a post out of it and link it back to you?
I noticed the rum! Love cakes with rum! Looks so good and pretty! Wish I could have one now!
Oozingly gorgeous! It is sure to become a hit among my friends on our get together. The ganache cream and flower on top looks enticingly delicious! =)
Hope your friends love these chocolate cupcakes.
yummy, great, perfect, I say wawwww
