Black Forest Cupcakes

Directions

1. 1
   In a medium bowl combine cake mix and Diet Coke, and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
2. 2
   Scoop into paper-lined cupcake tins (recipe makes 24). Place one tablespoon cherry pie filling in the top center of each cupcake and bake according to package directions.
3. 3
   Cool cupcakes completely and top with a dollop of Lite Cool Whip, if desired.
4. 4
   *You may use the same icing as the Shirley Temple Cupcakes, minus the cherry juice, for a richer, more icing-like topping. See my TastyKitchen recipe box for my Shirley Temple Cupcake recipe.
