COOKBOOK: Wild About Cupcakes - Rachel Lane
These were more like small muffins than cupcakes and I can tell you they were amazing to eat!
My daughter-in-law does not eat anything with a cake texture, but she ate these little beauties……and she asked for more!
Totally delicious and very little time required to put it all together and in the oven.
A hit! A must!
Hope you enjoy
