The cherry and almond flavors were just meant to be together, right? Especially in cupcake form. Their tempting, nutty, and fruity pairing makes for dessert royalty. Straight cherry can be a little too sweet, but the addition of almond flavoring gives this cupcake some sophisticated depth and smoothness. It’s a hit with adults and children alike!
Cherry Almond Cupcakes
Can we talk about how PRETTY these cupcakes are? I’m a sucker for any kind of cupcake (they’re just so cute!), but a shiny Maraschino cherry on top is just irresistible. They’re adorable for a birthday party, and I especially love a romantic cherry treat—making this the best Valentine’s Day cupcake recipe! These cupcakes are completely and utterly divine! Their texture is so soft and delicate and the almond-cherry-flavored frosting just melts away in your mouth. They are reminiscent of the cherry chip cake you get at the grocery store, but they are much better than a box mix of course. These are some sweet, blissful cherry clouds (if you can only imagine what that would taste like). With a fluffy cake and a decadent almond and maraschino cherry flavor, you might just very well find these to be a new favorite cupcake. Valentine’s Day Cupcakes You can enjoy these cupcakes all year round, but I think they are particularly perfect for Valentine’s Day! They would be easy to whip up for a Valentine’s Class Party treat or sweet after-school snack. I’d serve them with fun pink strawberry milk and a note of what I love about them for a Valentine’s Day they’ll never forget. <3 Enjoy!
