Had a really strong craving for cupcakes the other day. Sure, I could go to Cupcakes, the store, (which I love and am sometimes known to do!) but I felt like baking, so searched online for a good recipe. I wanted lemon, vanilla and coconut flavours. Found this great recipe from Martha Stewart for vanilla cupcakes and this recipe for buttercream. Just modified half the buttercream by adding some lemon extract, and toasted a bit of coconut for topping some of the others. Both the batter and icing were really easy, and while the ingredients list of butter, white flour, white sugar and confectioner's sugar won't win any nutritional prizes, I did use organic eggs and had to spend time whisking (exercise!!).So good! I did vanilla-vanilla, vanilla-lemon and vanilla-vanilla-coconut. I adore coconut. Brought some to Bonnie's yesterday, where we had a wonderful lunch of carrot soup, salad and wild salmon. Still have a few cupcakes left and am wishing I had one right about now! And more of that carrot soup!
