Chocolate Cherry Cupcakes

This month we made delicious chocolate cupcakes with the most divine frosting we have ever made.  The frosting was really thick, like fudge, but still had a creamy texture.  It also wasn’t sugary sweet like a lot of store bought frosting is.  Here is the recipe:

1 cup softened butter

4 ½ cups confectioners’ sugar

1 ¼ cups baking (unsweetened) cocoa

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup milk

To make the cupcakes more interesting, we filled them with store bought cherry pie filling.  For a decorative touch we also topped them with a cherry from the filling.
