1-1/3 cups flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup syrup from jar of maraschino cherries
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. almond extract
1 stick butter or margarine, softened
2/3 cup sugar
2 eggs

with an electric mixer on high speed about 1 minute until pale.
Gradually add sugar and beat until fluffy. Reduce mixer speed to
medium. Beat in eggs, one at a time, just until blended. Reduce
mixer speed to low. Alternately beat in flour and milk mixtures just
until blended. Stir in chocolate chips and cherries. Spoon batter
into prepared cups. Bake 20-25 minutes until the cupcakes are godlen
and their tops spring back when lightly pressed. Cool in pan on wire
rack 5 minutes before removing to rack to cool completely. Spread
top with Vanilla Buttercream. Garnish with shaved chocolate and
cherries.
