Lemon Cupcakes

I love lemons. And what could be better than lemons in a cake? Lemons are one of those ingredients that you could use in most dishes because it simply brings out the best in everything you make! Be it a subtle undertone or an in-your-face burst of flavor, lemons taste great (when used appropriately and in moderation of course) ;) 

Moving on! These cupcakes that I made using this recipe is delightful - everything you might want in a cupcake and more. It's light on the palate, has a hint of lemony goodness and (fortunately or unfortunately), is something you could very well wipe out at one go - so do remember to share!!






Thanks for reading! :)

Vanilla Buttermilk cake with Chocolate Fudge Frosting

Hi everyone! Firstly, I'd like to apologize for not posting for a while now, been awfully busy with school work... Secondly, I'd like to mention that the occasion for baking this oh-so-yummy cake is because it's my birthday! Woopie!

The crumb-coat:

The frosting - look at that texture!!


 The finished product:





The cake is something I will definitely be making again, as the vanilla cake was light, and so was the chocolate frosting (surprisingly)! A favorite on my list, that's for sure! :)
