Black Forest Cupcakes!

I don't know why but Christmas time makes me want to bake and, well eat! haha I found this recipe on food network. I'm not a pop drinker so it was a little weird seeing that there's pop in this recipe but it was still a lot of fun to make!  

ingredients

• 1 (18.25-ounce) box devil’s food cake mix
• 1 1/3 cups black cherry soda
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 3 eggs
• 1 container vanilla frosting
• 2 teaspoons cherry extract
• 1 to 2 drops pink food coloring
• 24 whole maraschino cherries with stems

directions

• 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 (12-cup) muffin tins with paper liners.
• 2 In a large bowl combine cake mix, soda, vegetable oil and eggs. Using a hand mixer combine all ingredients, batter will still be somewhat lumpy. Pour batter into muffin cups. Bake 19 to 22 minutes, turning the pans halfway through baking. Remove to a rack and allow to cool completely.
• 3 In a large bowl combine frosting, extract and pink food coloring. When cupcakes are cool ice with pink cherry frosting and top each with maraschino cherry
  
  

  

   This recipe was really good! I was worried that you'd be able to taste the pop but you really can't all that much and when you do its kind of refreshing! I think the best part about this cup cake is that its easy to make and it has cherries! I love Cherries! I wish I could be writing this and eating one but my roommates kind of had a feast and ate them all before I could write about it.... Sorry guys! Anyway, please try this and send me pictures or like recipes. I would love to hear from you guys!
  
  Ta Ta for now,
