Baked the cupcakes in stoneware. Takes a little bit longer to bake but the cakes baked evenly and were super moist! Delicious!

Good recipe, but to easily make it amazing, make it into a Black Forest Cherry Cupcake. All you need to do is add some cherry brandy. When you slice your cupcake, simply paint some cherry brandy onto the layers. You can also add some cherry brandy to the cherry pie filling. It really adds a nice touch and a bit more flavor. Happy Baking;)
