• Preheat 350ºF for 20 to 25 min, or if knife is clean. Cream butter, sugar and vanilla together in a large bowl, mix eggs together a small bowl first then add milk. Mix together coffee to warm water, add to bowl with wet ingredients. After sift together all the dry ingredients to the bowl, mix until combined. Grease a muffin pan, or line with muffin cups, then add batter. Bake in a pre-heated 350ºF oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until batter comes out clean. ( depending on your oven ) When baked let rest for 10 minutes then release unto a cooling rack. When muffins are cool remove from pan and place on plate, cut a hole in the middle of each muffin about 1 inch round. Then add cherry filling in each muffin hole, and top with spray whipped cream, then top with grated chocolate or chocolate chips. Bonita's Tip: Shifting flour will make the flour a cake like texture. If you are using salted butter you can leave out the sea salt. You can use freshly whipped cream and put in a decorating holder to add to muffin tops.
