Contrary to what one might think, the Baking Bug never left; the Procrastination Parasite, however, took over. I'm back and this time around I mean it. No, seriously! Believe me! You'll see, I promise! I'm chalking out a plan for myself, a bucket list, if you may. Things I plan to accomplish by December 2015. More on that in a later post. For now, we'll talk about these mocha cupcakes.
I made sprinkles a couple weeks ago. Now I needed a reason to use them! So I made simple Vanilla Cupcakes.
This cupcake recipe is very basic and awfully easy to make. Also, these were the first cupcakes I'd ever baked, so they are a bit special to me. Everyone at home loves these, especially my mom! She wants them for her birthday, anniversary..you name it! She LOVES these, and I do too.
There isn't anything in the world like a just-out-of-the-oven vanilla cupcake. Nothing tastes better right out of the oven. And it makes the house smell so good. These cupcakes are soft and fulfilling. what more could you ask for from a cupcake!?
Vanilla and cinnamon is one of my favourite flavour combinations. I absolutely love cinnamon, with all its sweetness and that very slight heat. So, I thought of making a Cinnamon Frosting. You could never go wrong with this combo..it'll always be a hit. ALWAYS! :D
Also, just about anything goes with vanilla. That leaves you with endless frosting options. At first, I thought I'd make an espresso frosting but then I was like 'Ooohh! Cinnamon!!', when I spotted it in the kitchen cabinet.
Belated Happy Holi and Belated Happy International Women's Day!! I made a cupcake each for these occasions too. Same recipe, just used some colours
