Long time no see

Sorry for my absence, but I've been having som problems with my living situation so I have not been able to bake much. Nothing at all actually. But now I have a home and a kitchen again, and not at least, my KitchenAid.

Anyway. This rather small cupcakes is made with ginger and lemon flavour, chopped almonds in the bottom and a easy philadelphia frosting. Delicious.
For a even more grown up taste there is solely dark muscovado sugar as sweetener in them.

Birthday Cupcake

This is the cupcake I did for my birthday! I found those cute cups formed as a square at Lagerhaus in Sweden. And they were even on sale! Anyway.

Lime and satsuma cupcake with vanilla frosting

I wanted a sweet cake with a little edge so I scraped the shell of one lime and one satsuma and then I pressed the fruits and used the juice instead of milk in the recepie. They turned out really good actually.

Cake of January

We have an agreement at work. All the boys are paying and buying breakfast every friday, but I don't. I bake the cake of the month. This is the cake of January.

Chocolate cupcake with rum and coconut frosting

I took a ordinary chocolate cupcake recepie. I had such big cups so a recepie for 15 cupcakes was enough to 8. Remember to double the time in the oven. I also doubled the cacao for a really chocolate feeling.
The topping was supposed to be white but as I only had brown rum at home, the color got a little bit boring so I chose to pour some yellow and red food coloring in it.

It tasted really good, the cupcake was crispy outside and chewy inside, almost like a fondant. The frosting have a grown up touch because of the rum.

If you don't want the frosting I would suggest some whipped cream with rum in it.
