- Bake. Cupcakes take about 20 min, bundt 45-50 min, 9×13 pan 25-33 min. Use the cake mix instruction as a guide. Cake is done when toothpick inserted comes out clean..
- Cherry Buttercream icing, beat the butter, 3 tablespoons cherry juice and vanilla til well mixed. start adding powdered sugar 1 cup at a time, mixing well,If mixture is too thin add more powdered sugar. Too thick add a splash of milk. Use at least 3 cups powdered sugar. Frost cake while frosting is still soft then sprinkle with remaining nuts, cut additional cherries in half and decorate cake. I refrigerate the cake until the icing is dry, then it can sit out at room temperature..
- You can use canned cream cheese icing, whip the cherry juice into it and add powdered sugar until icing is stiff..
Family traditions during the holidays are what makes memories. Cream the butter and sugar together. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each one. Add sour cream, vanilla, and remaining ingredients. I bought a big jar to make a Chocolate Covered Cherry Cheesecake and didn't use them all.
