Holy Mama! This cupcake's a doozy! I don't think I have to try to hard to sell you on this one. Instead I'll just show you a bunch of photos......
I boiled a pound of dried cherries in port mixed with a little orange zest to start. After they cooled a bit I separated the cherries from the port syrup and pureed it into a cherrie paste that I folded into the cake. Which you can see in the image below.....
How pretty is that little guy?? The cherries add a tiny bit of tartness which I love. 
I then used a TON of ricotta for the frosting. In foresight I should have contacted Betsy of Salvatore Brooklyn Ricotta and gotten theirs.....but that's what I get for being so last minute with things. I used a pretty good ricotta from a amish farm upstate.
Come grab one tomorrow at the Brooklyn Flea!!! We keep selling out so get there early!Brooklyn Flea
