...Friday Favorites...Dr. Pepper Black Forest Chocolate Cupcakes...

...I got this idea from my sweet sissie...who brought a 2 ingredient vegan chocolate cake to the family reunion back in July...

...the two ingredients for her cake were Dr. Pepper and a chocolate cake mix...and I gathered a couple more ingredients to make these cupcakes even more special...some cherries...and some vegan vanilla icing...

...there's nothing to the cupcakes...just add enough Dr. Pepper to make a batter...and bake...easie peasie...

...then for the Black Forest cherry filling...I put the liquid from the jar of cherries in a pan...and added a little bit of sugar...

...and a little bit of cornstarch to thicken it...

...then added the cherries back to the thicker, sweeter sauce...

...then using a serrated knife...I cut a little divot out of each cupcake...

...leaving a small hole to fill with the cherry sauce...

...just a spoonful with a few cherries in each cupcake...

...and then I popped the little caps back on...

...they're pretty cute just like that...

...but then I drizzled a little bit of vanilla icing over each one...

...they turned out so cute and festive-looking and they were so easy to make...and they were delicious too...

~Have a lovely day!
