Happy Monday everybody!!  I hope everyone stayed safe and warm this past weekend with all of the winter weather shenanigans.  <\/strong><\/p>\n

We didn’t get as much snow and ice in the ATL as they had predicted for Friday–thank goodness–but Saturday morning we got a surprise 3″ snowfall which was just so beautiful, and I don’t necessarily like getting out and playing in it because it’s too cold for me but I just looove watching it fall, so it was a perfect morning. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Anyways, let’s talk cupcakes and super delicious ones at that.  I’ve been wanting to make Coca-Cola cake or cupcakes for a while now and in keeping with a early<\/del>  Valentine’s Day theme I thought a little cherry added would be perfect.  <\/strong><\/p>\n

Honestly, I don’t know why I haven’t baked with Coca-Cola before, because it made these cupcakes so light and fluffy and perfect and there was just a hint of the cherry juice.  <\/strong><\/p>\n

Then the added bonus of my favorite frosting by the Pioneer Woman that I made beautifully pink was amazing.  Y’all need to make these asap, very decadent and perfectly themed for the upcoming day of love.  Have a wonderful day and start to the week!

   \t\t\t\t
   1. 2 Cups of Milk.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
   2. 10 Tablespoons of All-Purpose Flour.<\/li>\t\t\t\t

      FOR THE CUPCAKES<\/div>\t\t\t

      \t\t\t\t
      1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
      2. Place your liners into your cupcake tins and set aside.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
      3. With a handheld or stand mixer with paddle attachment, place the cake mix, eggs, Coca-Cola and cherry juice into your bowl and mix until smooth.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
      4. Using an ice cream scoop or spoon fill your cupcake tins 3\/4 full and bake for 15 minutes or until they spring back to the touch.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
      5. Let cool completely before frosting.<\/li>\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t
         \t\t\t

         FOR THE FROSTING<\/div>\t\t\t

         \t\t\t\t
         1. Place the milk and all-purpose flour into a shallow pan on medium\/high heat and stir constantly until it becomes the consistency of thin mashed potatoes, remove from the heat and let it come to room temperature.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
         2. After your milk\/flour mixture has come to room temperature, place your butter and sugar into your bowl of your stand mixer or with a hand mixer whip them until light and fluffy.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
         3. Now add your milk\/flour mixture to your sugar\/butter mix and whip, whip, whip--this takes a little bit of time--until super and light fluffy and resembles whipped cream.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
         4. If you are adding food coloring, go ahead and add and mix until the desired color is reached.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
         5. Now you can pipe or spoon your delicious frosting onto your cupcakes.<\/li>\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>
