Vanilla and Chocolate Cupcakes Recipes

Alison P. on

For this Friday Fun Foods blog, I’m sharing two baking recipes that are great for practicing frosting cupcakes and fillings or if you just want some delicious, simple cupcakes. I was actually recommended these recipes from a cake-decorating instructor when I went to a cupcake-decorating class once, so there’s some credibility here. The recipes are Easy One-Bowl Chocolate Cupcakes by Martha Stewart and Perfect Vanilla Cupcake Recipe by Natasha’s Kitchen. There were actually multiple one-bowl chocolate cupcakes by Martha Stewart, but I included the recipe that seemed like the more popular (and tastier) one. Also, I haven’t tried these recipes yet, so when I do I’ll make sure to take a picture and write up a post on it! Maybe when I make these I can do a taste test between the two to settle the chocolate v.s. vanilla debate! Not that I would be a very fair judge, because I like chocolate a bit more (it’s the best, lets be real), but really who doesn’t have an opinion when it comes to chocolate and vanilla? Let me know if you try these recipes and if you prefer chocolate or vanilla by commenting below!

Banana Bread Recipe

Alison P. on

For this post, I’m going to be sharing a recipe for banana bread that I made about a month ago. It’s a healthier version of the popular baked good, but doesn’t compromise on taste. The recipe is from another blog, called Cookie and Kate. If you’re looking for some tasty vegetarian recipes, check them out! Link:

1st official post

Today for my first “official” post I am going to share a pound cake recipe with you guys that I got from my grandma. I actually used this recipe for a project in eighth grade and it was really delicious and simple so here it is! Also, feel free to add different zests, spices, and mix-ins to this recipe as it’s pretty basic and great for experimenting with flavors.

Ingredients:

3 cups sugar

3 sticks softened butter

3 cups flour

1 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

5 eggs

Steps:

1. Preheat your oven to 300 degrees.

2. Grease a tube or bundt pan (whatever you have).
3. Mix all ingredients together until fluffy, adding the eggs one at a time (beat one at a time with other ingredients and then put another in and beat, etc) .

4. Bake the cake for about an hour and a half, although the cooking time may be more or less depending on your oven.

5. Let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes when you take the cake out of the oven.

6. To remove the cake from the pan, run a knife around the edge of the pan, turn the pan upside down, and the cake should fall out onto a plate.

7. Drizzle the top of the cake with icing and let the icing drip down the sides. This is a link to an icing recipe you can use, but any recipe you like will work. https://www.thespruce.com/basic-cake-glaze-with-variations-3034188

8. Enjoy!

I sadly do not have the picture from when I made this pound cake, but I think it looked something like this picture.
