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.
