Diet Cherry 7up Cupcakes

I love anything with cherry flavoring in it - especially my soda - so when I saw this awesome recipe for Diet Cherry 7up cupcakes on Grin and Bake It back in March, I just knew I'd have to bookmark it.  Well, I'm just finally getting back to the recipe and I'm totally thinking about making these this weekend.  Here's the yummy recipe Kate from Grin and Bake It shared with her readers:




What you'll need:

   - 1 box of white cake mix
   - 1 can of Diet Cherry 7up
   - 2 egg whites

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Add the cake mix and egg whites in a mixing bowl; pour in the can of Diet Cherry 7up.  Beat according to the directions on the box and fill cupcake liners about 2/3 way full.  Bake for around 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
