Instructions
For the Buttermilk Cake:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line muffin tins with paper liners.
- Mix the first four dry ingredients in a bowl.
- Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy—3-5 minutes.
- Add the egg, vanilla, cherries. Beat and scrape the bowl.
- Alternate adding the buttermilk and flour mixture until batter in just combined. Scrape the bowl and mix again for just a moment.
- Use a small measuring cup to fill the paper liners just over 1/2 full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting.
