Happy Valentine's Day & Cranberry Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

Written by Living the Gourmet, a trusted food and lifestyle site since 2008.

Love this recipe? Share it!

My heart if filled with love for it has endured 
Though, it is weary for the road has been long 
It still listens for a gentle song 
And longs to share the sweetness 
It waits patiently through the tears that fall softly in the night

Catherine

Cranberry Cupcakes:

1½ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup white sugar
1 cup milk
½ cup sour cream
5 tablespoons canola oil
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
¼ confectioner's sugar
¼ cup canned cranberry sauce

Cream Cheese Frosting:

½ cup cream cheese
½ - 1 teaspoon whole milk
1 cup confectioner's sugar
1 teaspoon pink coloring

Chocolate Drizzle:

¼ cup chopped chocolate
2 tablespoons milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Line cupcake tins with butter or cupcake liners.

In a large bowl blend together flour and white sugar. Set aside.

In the bowl of your stand mixer, mix milk, oil, eggs, vanilla and confectioner's sugar.

Add dry ingredients until a nice smooth batter forms. Fold in canned cranberry sauce.

Pour batter evenly into prepared cupcake tins and bake for about 20 minutes or until cake tester comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.

Whip together ingredients for cream cheese frosting. Spread evenly over each cupcake.

In a double broiler, melt down chocolate with milk until thick and smooth. Drizzle over cupcakes.

Enjoy with Love,

Catherine
