Cherry Coke Cupcakes

I am back on a cupcake kick again. Cupcakes are my weakness.

I love mixing soda into cupcakes. They are a great flavor booster. The cherry cola in this recipe gives the cupcakes a slight cherry flavor while enriching the chocolate.

I do advise when adding the cherry extract to the frosting, combine it slowly. The one tablespoon in the recipe is on the stronger end of the flavor spectrum. Add a little bit at a time to get the right flavor for you.

To finish off your cupcakes, add a fresh cherry to the top!

    I’ve made these a couple times and absolutely love them. One change I made was to add some sour cherry pie filling in the center of the cupcakes. It really takes them over the top!
