  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Place cupcake liners in a 12-cup tray.
  • Warm the milk until it is lukewarm, add the lemon juice, and stir. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes or until you see it thickened.
  • In a bowl, mix the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt.
  • In another bowl, beat the butter, sugar, and brown sugar for about 5 minutes until fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, and beat well. Add the vanilla.
  • Add the dry ingredients, alternating with the lemon milk; starting and ending with the flour. Fold everything together with a spatula (if overmixed, the cupcakes will be tough).
  • With a spoon, fill each cupcake mold 3/4 full.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool on a rack.
  • Prepare the meringue: place the sugar, egg whites, cream of tartar, and 1/3 cup of water in a pot and set over a double boiler, above another pot with boiling water. With a hand mixer, beat until fluffy, about 1 minute.
  • Beat the egg whites for another 7 minutes over the boiling water (it should not be touching) until stiff peaks form.
  • Add the vanilla to the meringue and stir to firm up the frosting a bit, about 2 minutes.
  • With a spoon or piping bag, swirl meringue frosting on top of each cupcake.
  • Decorate the cupcakes with a cherry and some grated chocolate.
