My daughters & I were talking about making cupcakes and well the regular vanilla and chocolate weren't sounding too good. These sound yummy! Gonna try them out tomorow. Thanks for posting the recipe.

These do sound good. Do you have a special frosting you put on them or a recipe for that too? Thanks for sharing.

people used to use ready made mixes for their recipes.
nowadays, they are using fresher ingredients and going back to basics.
They seem to be making more effort in baking.
my grandma spent a lot of time in the kitchen.
Then, when I was growing up, my mom used cake mixes; brownie mixes.


why not use the juice from real oranges in your recipe?
