So, I have been doing a lot of eating lately (no I'm not pregnant...though I wish!) and baking another cake seemed like a bad idea for my...um waistline. But, if anyone knows me they know that I never give up something I have started.
Which is probably why I still have Zelda for Nintendo collecting dust in my basement because I cannot beat the last level. So another week and another cake. This one is probably my favorite tasting cupcake I have made so far, and I have to wonder if that is because one of the key ingredients of baking a cake was taken out and another ingredient replaced it. Instead of butter, as the title of this cake mentioned, I mix the traditional flour, sugar, vanilla, cornstarch, baking powder, and eggs with yogurt. Stir in some crushed hazelnuts and you have the cake. I drizzled it with an icing of yogurt and powdered sugar and sprinkled with crushed hazelnuts on top.
My cake:
The book's cake:
This cake hit the spot this morning for breakfast- it was warm and sweet, but the yogurt and the nuts made the cupcake feel more hearty then the previous ones I have made. In turn, these cupcakes have sort of inspired to actually...I cannot believe I am going to say this...
cook a warm hearty dinner tonight. Number two thing you know about me, if you well...know about me, is that I hate cooking. But, like I said I have been eating a lot lately, and mostly out at restaurants, I feel like it is about time to make a meal at home. And considering one of my adventures of eating was yesterday at a Tastefully Simple party, I figure even I can cook some of there products without any issues.
So I leave you with saying...
happy cooking?
