Heart Cup Cakes
In addition to the ganached top cupcakes I made for my co-worker Dharshan, I managed to squezze in time to make marble cupcakes. The recipe is from the Good Housekeeping collection of cakes and dessert, and I have to say I am a bit dissappointed with what it turns out to be.
The cake was dry and was not as tasty as my regular sponge cake. Perhaps it’s because the recipe did not include any egg yolks, which usually makes the cake with softer texture and more moist. I should have tried to bake this one with water bath. Oh well, I mean it wasn’t bad, but I would definitely prefer the other one…
Dharshan commented that he wanted to take this one home for the wifey, and the cook (moi, yours truly) immediately stopped his plan and said to take the one with the ganache instead…. he tried to convince the cook by saying, “..but I prefer the ones with the little heartssss… “.. These are engineers, people, and they VERY seldom talk cute like this. Cute is not a word for them. Logic is.
It’s amazing what food can do to one’s mood.
