Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.

- Incorporate the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients. Blend until thoroughly combined.
- Carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin.
- Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners. Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

- In a large bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Take a small knife or cupcake corer to hollow out the center of each cooled cupcake. Next, spoon cherry pie filling into each hollowed center.
- Pipe or spoon the whipped cream over each filled cupcake.
- Sprinkle chocolate shavings over the whipped cream.
