Instructions
- 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- 2 Spray 24 mini muffin cups with cooking spray.
- 3 Stir yellow cake mix, water, eggs, and vegetable oil in a bowl until moistened. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- 4 Spoon cake batter into the prepared mini muffin cups, filling them about 2/3 full.
- 5 Bake in the preheated oven until cupcakes have risen and are lightly golden brown, 15 to 19 minutes. Check for doneness after 10 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake should come out clean. Allow cupcakes to cool for about 20 minutes.
- 6 Whisk instant French vanilla pudding mix and milk together in a bowl for 2 minutes. Allow pudding to stand for 5 more minutes to thicken.
- 7 Pipe the vanilla pudding into each cupcake with about 1 1/4 teaspoon vanilla pudding.
- 8 Freeze filled cupcakes for at least 1 hour to make frosting them easier.
- 9 Spread a very thin coating of chocolate frosting over each cupcake; refrigerate cupcakes for 15 minutes.
- 10 Spread second, thicker layer of frosting over the first layer. Place small dollop of whipped cream into center of each frosted cupcake and top with a quarter of a maraschino cherry. Refrigerate mini cupcakes until serving time.
