These cupcakes are divine! If you are a cherry love you HAVE to try these! They are going pretty fast in my house. This recipe made 3 dozen. In this recipe I used 1 Cup of cherries just because I love cherries! The butter cream frosting I use is to die for! It is my all time favorite and go to recipe. I just changed it up a bit to taste more cherry like.

DIRECTIONS
- To make the cup cake, preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Put papers into cupcake pan. In a medium bowl, combine the 3 1/3 cups cake flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl whisk together the milk, egg whites, cherry syrup, almond and vanilla extracts. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the sugar and butter. Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, mix in the dry ingredients in three additions alternately with the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Beat each addition just until incorporated, being careful not to over-mix. In a small bowl, toss the chopped cherries with the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour. Use a silicone spatula to fold in the chopped cherries by hand.Bake for 20-25 mins or until toothpick comes out clean.Buttercream frosting2 cups shortening8 cups powdered sugar1/2 Teaspoon Salt
