The jam I use for these is the morello cherry preserve from Sainsbury's special selection; if you're using a less elegant, and probably sweeter confection, reduce the sugar in the cake a little. And if you have any Kirsch about the place, then add a splash to the batter and icing.

These cupcakes are simply divine and I liked them so much that I came up with two variations. 1. Chocolate Orange Cupcakes, which substitutes the cherry jam and the cherry garnish for good orange marmalade and candied orange peel. White Chocolate Raspberry Cupcakes, which uses 90g of white chocolate, 150g of good raspberry jam and 150g frozen raspberries, and then top the cupcakes with melted white chocolate - absolutely fantastic and well worth the effort.
