What’s better than a regular cupcake? A boozy cupcake!
When my friend, V, gifted me a bottle of Indian Tequila, it promptly made me want to use it in a dessert. For me, Tequila = Margarita (I don’t do shots 😊) , so a margarita cupcake seemed like the most obvious choice.
I think the greater purpose of bananas is to be used in dessert. The riper the banana, the better. What else makes your cake (or muffin) moist, sweet, mellow and delicious all at the same time? Nothing!
These banana muffins are super easy to make and will have you reaching out for more than one. Always.
I’m not a big fan of plain vanilla cakes. While they can be delicious, I find them a wee bit plain. However, a lot of my friends and family love good ol’ vanilla cake. And since I’m nice I bake it for them 🙂 But every now and then, I try ways to modify it slightly so that while the overall goodness and simplicity of the vanilla is the hero, there is still a little something extra to the dessert (like the colourful muffins). Funfetti (or sprinkes) are another such way to amp up basic vanilla muffins. And so colourful too 🙂
Chocolate will be my all time favourite dessert flavour. Even though over the past few years I have developed a stronger love for non chocolate desserts (adulting!), nothing says comfort quite like a good old chocolate cake or muffin. What do you think? 🙂 I guarantee you will always find many chocolate desserts on the blog (eggless muffins, chocolate banana bread, fudgy brownies etc)!
Today I am adding a super simple but extremely delicious recipe to the list. Chocolate with it’s favourite companion : Coffee! And double chocolate at that. In muffin form. So easy to eat!
One of my favourite fruit dessert flavours is lemon. For the longest time, the only lemon dessert I had tried was a lemon tart and a good lemon tart is one of the best things ever! The idea of this tangy flavour with the right amount of sugar is just so exciting!
When I started baking more regularly a few years ago, I discovered lemon cake. And what a delicious discovery that was! Moist, tangy, light and just divine. Because I loved the lemon cake so much, I began reading up on other flavours that work well with lemon and a lot of recipes talked about blueberry. Now we don’t get blueberry very easily here. The fresh ones are hardly there for a few weeks and even then are fairly expensive. The dried ones are found more regularly and are not as expensive. I figured I should at least try the flavour combination out. Turns out – SUPER idea! 🙂
Chocolate is love. It is therapy. Happiness. Sanity. It is beautiful.
If you don’t agree, I think you need to spend some more time with good chocolate. If you do agree, hello new friend 🙂 I like you!
