This week I decided to make something with a comfort food theme. I love banana bread and was hoping I could find an easy and delicious banana nut cupcake recipe. I was worried that the cupcake would taste too much like a muffin and not qualify for cupcake status, but this recipe made a really smooth and tasty cupcake. This week I was a stickler for my measurements and made sure I didn't accidentally grab the wrong cup like last week. I wanted this batch to have great frosting AND a great cake. I was pleasantly surprised when I pulled the first batch out of the oven and tasted the warm cake. It was delicious! I waited patiently while they cooled and I finished the frosting. I wish I would have pulled the cupcakes out a couple minutes sooner so the bottoms would not have been as brown, but they were still pretty tasty. The frosting I made this week called for flour and granulated sugar. I was a little wary because my previous two frosting recipes called for powdered sugar and did not include flour in any way. The frosting was rough going at first, the consistency was supposed to look like whipped cream and I could not imagine it ever getting to that state. But after a couple minutes I started to see it all come together. The frosting was delicious, one that I definitely want to use again. It was light and a perfect compliment to the banana nut cake. I have loved experimenting with a variety of recipes and ingredients and seeing how it can all come together to create a tasty little treat. When I gave the last of my cupcakes out to be tried by friends and family I was a little sad that I didn't have more to enjoy myself! This is definitely a recipe I will use again!
