Ingredients

• Servings: 1
• 1 (15.25 ounce) package chocolate cake mix

• 1 (12.5 ounce) can cherry pie filling

Recipe

Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 20 mins Ready Time: 1 hr 10 mins


• preheat oven to 350 degrees f (175 degrees c). line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
• mix cake mix and cherry-flavored cola together in a bowl until batter is smooth. spoon batter into prepared muffin cups about 2/3 full.
• bake in the preheated oven until muffins spring back when lightly touched, 18 to 23 minutes. cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
• beat cream in a large bowl using an electric mixer until frothy; beat in confectioners' sugar until stiff peaks form. lift your beater or whisk straight up: the frosting will form sharp peaks; refrigerate.
• cut a well out of the top center of each cupcake and fill with 2 to 3 cherries from the cherry pie filling. transfer frosting to a piping bag or a plastic bag with 1 corner cut off. frost cupcakes and top each with a maraschino cherry.
