Why I Love This Recipe

These cupcakes are quick to make and are so delicious people will think you spent hours working on them. While they don’t have any runny liquid in the center, they taste like the cupcake version of cherry cordials. Also, because they use Fresca rather than oil and eggs in the cake batter they have less calories than regular cupcakes.


Ingredients You'll Need

1 box white cake mix
10 oz. Fresca
1 jar salad cherries (10oz)
1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, coarsely chopped
1 container chocolate frosting
Chocolate sprinkles


Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line muffin trays (stoneware preferred) with paper liners or arrange foil liners on a cookie sheet


Pour 2 oz. of the juice from the cherries into a measuring cup. Drain cherries, rinse, and dry with paper towels. Chop using Pampered Chef Food Chopper


Put cake mix in a medium/large size mixing bowl. Add 2oz. of cherry juice and Fresca. Mix with a scraper or wooden spoon (Do NOT use a hand mixer….it will beat the carbonation out of the Fresca and your cakes will come out flat and goey) until well incorporated. Fold in chopped cherries and chocolate chips.


Fill cupcake wells 2/3 full and bake for 18-22 minutes.


Allow to cool for 5 minutes in pan before inverting onto a cooling rack. Wait until cakes are completely cooled before frosting. After frosting, garnish with chocolate sprinkles.


Questions, Comments & Reviews


I believe salad cherries and maraschino cherries are the same thing. You should be able to find them in any grocery store.

I've never heard of salad cherries??? Where do you find them? Thanks
