Preparation
Heat oven to 350°F. Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups.
In medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder and salt; set aside. In small bowl, mix milk, vanilla, almond extract and egg whites; set aside. In large bowl, beat sugar and butter with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. On low speed, alternately add flour mixture and milk mixture, beating just until blended after each addition. Beat on low speed 1 minute. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups.
Bake 25 to 28 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling racks. Brush bourbon over cupcakes. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
In medium bowl, mix coconut pecan frosting and raisins; set aside. Frost cupcakes with white frosting. Make slight indentation in frosting in center of each cupcake; spoon about 1 teaspoon coconut pecan frosting mixture in each indentation. Top each with cherry.
