Although you normally wouldn’t think to combine almond, cherries and vanilla, all three go together excellently in these cupcakes. Named after two of their three main ingredients, these cherry vanilla cupcakes can be made year-round, thanks to the addition of maraschino cherry juice in the batter and frosting, plus the whole maraschino cherry topper. The frosting is made from almond extract, cherry juice, sugar and butter, proving that you can, indeed, make something sweet and light from a few simple ingredients.
