Cherry Cupcakes
- FOR THE CUPCAKES:
- 1 box (about 18 Oz. Size) Yellow Cake Mix
- Additional Required Ingredients Specified In Mix Package (typically Water, Eggs And Oil)
- 24 pieces Maraschino Cherries, Plus Extra For Garnish
- FOR THE FROSTING:
- 1 stick Unsalted Butter, Softened
- 5 cups Powdered Sugar
- 3 Tablespoons Juice From Marashino Cherries
- 1/2 teaspoons Almond Extract
- 1 Tablespoon Milk
- Bake cupcakes per package instructions (you'll typically need water, eggs, and oil, as directed in mix package). After you add the batter to the cupcake pan, drop a marashino cherry in each cupcake. My cupcakes cooked at 350u0b0F for about 12 minutes. They are done when an inserted toothpick or knife comes out clean.
- For the frosting, beat butter in a mixer with the whisk attachment, until creamy. Add powdered sugar, marashino cherry juice, almond extract and milk. If frosting is a bit runny, add more powdered sugar; if it is too thick, add some more milk or cherry juice.
- Frost cooled cupcakes and garnish with a marashino cherry on each.
