Valentine's Day Cupcakes!

Hi everyone! I'm happy to be joining Cupcake Sunday, Seasonal Sunday, I'm Lovin' It, Sunday Showcase, Masterpiece Monday, REDnesday and the Valentine's Party with:

Almond Surprise Cupcakes!

True Confession Time♥ I admit to seeing a fella and giving in to temptation. Happened as I was walking through Wally World looking for cupcake inspiration *head hanging in shame*.

Yep, I'm blaming this purchase on the Dough Boy! Had to be the dimples...

So what's the surprise you ask?

Cherries!!!
I wanted to use my cupcake corer again and had cherries in mind, 

so I thought almond cupcakes would be a good match! This recipe is from Food.com.

Alternate title for this post: And A Cherry On Top In The Middle!
Hope you love it if you try it:@)

Almond Cupcakes

3/4 C butter, room temp

1 1/2 C sugar

2 eggs

1 1/2 tsp almond extract

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

2 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

2 1/2 C flour

1 1/4 C milk

-Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

-Cream butter and sugar, add eggs and extract. Add the rest and beat till smooth.

-Fill cupcake liners 2/3 full, this makes approximately 24 cupcakes.

-Bake approximately 20 minutes or until the top is golden brown and springs back when touched.

-Cool completely.

-Then I used my corer, and spooned cherry pie filling into the centers of the cupcakes, two cherries fit in each cupcake!
-Frost as desired.

Have a happy day:@)
