Cherry Frosting Recipes For Cakes or Cupcakes, Finally!
I had been looking for a cherry frosting recipe that didn’t start with “buy a tub of cherry frosting” or end with “then add red food coloring.” It shouldn’t be too hard to make a cherry frosting from scratch!
We finally found this lovely cherry frosting recipe from Pretty Enough To Eat who puts it on some deep, delicious chocolate cupcakes. The combination of sour cream and whipped cream are a nice compliment to the cherry flavor and make the frosting smooth and spreadable. She mentions using cherry extract to enhance the cherry flavor which we think is a great idea. Though we don’t always like to buy expensive ingredients for just one dish, you can also use cherry extract in chocolate cake recipes, as well as for cocktails or limeade.
Cherry Frosting Recipe
- 8 oz sour cream
- 1 c whipping cream
- 1 1/2 c powdered sugar
- 2 T maraschino cherry juice
In a large mixing bowl combine one 8-ounce carton sour cream, 1 cup whipping cream (already whipped-trust me, it doesn’t turn out with just the cream!) 1 ½ cups powdered sugar, and 2 Tablespoons maraschino cherry juice. Beat on medium-high until fluffy.
