I'm back at my comp again after a short but relaxing vacation. Wish that I could stay longer and enjoy the cool, fresh air instead of sweating it out in this awfully hot and humid weather. These cupcakes were made some time back, can't really remember the source of this recipe but the method of making these little cuppies caught my attention. Verdict ........ light texture. Tastewise ..... it's a cross bewteen a sponge and a cake but undoubtedly delicious!
