Cherry Ripe Muffin Recipe (Homemade Versions)
Original Version Recipe
Cadbury Cherry Ripe Bars
This recipe is the original one, using the famous and delicious Cadbury chocolate bars. It is easy to make, with the great Cadbury chocolate taste.
Ingredients
150g butter or margarine at room temperature (I advise that you use the butter)
150g caster sugar (or white if preferred)
100g self-raising flour
50g cocoa powder
150ml milk
200g grated chocolate (I advise that you use the Cadbury Cherry Ripe Bars)
Methods
Preheat oven 160°C/325°F/Gas Mark
Grease and line a 12-hole muffin tray with paper cases or spray with cooking oil
In a large bowl, cream together butter and caster sugar until light in color (this will take around five minutes)
Add eggs one at a time to the mixture and beat well after each addition.
Sift together flour and cocoa powder in a separate bowl, then add to the mixture alternating with pouring milk (this will take around 15 minutes)
Add chopped chocolate bars to the batter mix before dividing them into paper cases.
Fill each case ¾ full, so they cook evenly and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean
Leave for a few minutes to cool before removing from paper cases and eating!
Remember that the longer you leave them out, the more likely they will be dry. This is because moisture evaporates as time goes on.

a handful of cherries pitted and finely chopped
Pinch of salt, if desired

Mix butter and brown sugar until the mixture is nice and creamy.
Beat in vanilla extract or another flavoring you choose to use. Add dry ingredients (flour, baking powder) gradually and mix until all ingredients are combined.
Add a few fresh cherries and chocolate chips to the muffin batter if desired.
Fill muffin tins ¾ of the way full with batter and bake for 20 minutes or until risen and golden brown on top.

What is a muffin?
A muffin is a baked good that usually consists of flour, sugar, milk or water (or both), butter, and eggs. The batter can also contain baking powder, salt, spices, and flavorings.
Muffins are often tall like cupcakes without frosting with an indented top surface, making them easy to cut in half for eating.
A muffin is usually eaten as a brunch food and can be served with butter, margarine, and fruit preserves like strawberry or raspberry jam, honey, or yogurt for breakfast.
What are the basic ingredients?
You will need some flour, sugar (brown or white), butter, eggs, milk, and a little salt.
Sometimes people add additional ingredients to make muffins a little more interesting.
General tips
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Create a muffin pan with cooking spray or lining cups in the tin with paper liners.
Mix all ingredients and pour into prepared muffin tins, filling them ¾ of the way full. Bake for 20 minutes or until risen and golden brown.
Cool in the pan for five minutes before turning onto a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
FAQs
What Other Items Will You Need?
You may also need a muffin tray, chocolate ganache, melted chocolate, melted butter, coconut sugar, wire rack, spoon, stir, and coconut cream.
What Type of Pan Should You Use?
Using a muffin tray for this Australian cherry ripe recipe would be best. To make sure that they come out quickly, line up baking paper on top of each mold so it comes out easily when it cooks.
I advise you to spray the pan with cooking oil before pouring your batter and filling it about ¾ full.
Cherry Ripe Cupcakes
These are one of my all-time favorite desserts! They’re sweet, moist, and full of flavor – and they’re always a hit at parties and potlucks.
First, ensure your cherries are ripe and juicy – this will give your cupcakes the best flavor.
Second, use good quality chocolate for the frosting – I like to use dark chocolate milk for these cupcakes.
And finally, don’t overmix the batter – too much mixing will make your cupcakes tough.
Follow these tips, and you’ll have the perfect dish every time!

Some people like dark chocolate, some like milk chocolate, and some like something in between.
