One of my all-time favorite drinks is Cherry Limeade.
It's such a fabulous flavor combination!
Today I am sharing a simple and delicious cupcake version. :)
The Cherry Limeade Cupcakes I have seen combine lime cake and cherry frosting.
I decided to do something different...
I made cherry cake full of maraschino cherry chunks, topped with tangy lime frosting.
DELISH!
I also wanted these cupcakes to be quick & easy, so I started with a cake mix.
So here is my version...you are going to love it!
