g is for George Washington's cupcakes

my grandma told me that when my mom and uncles were little they made these cupcakes every year on George Washington's birthday cause they have cherry in them...

we made them late this year cause grandma had a hard time finding the cherry extract...

this is a recipe that my grandma found a long time ago in an old magazine...

they are very good...

for the recipe you are supposed to use a cherry cake mix but they do not have them anymore so grandma used the next best thing...

here is the recipe:

1 pkg of vanilla cake mix
1 pkg of vanilla instant pudding
1 1/4 cup of buttermilk
4 eggs
1/2 cup of oil
1 cup of coconut
1 cup of pecans
2 tbs of cherry extract (grandma found this on Amazon)

mix together and bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes...
these cupcakes are very moist and do not need frosting, I sprinkled some powdered sugar on top...
