damn, yum

This year's Christmas cupcakes come from Love and Olive Oil and are these.

Ohhh.





I need to practice. They're very moist, and though I found fancy beautiful wrappers from Sweden and though they were lovely and stiff they still peeled off the wrappers in the box overnight. But I think that might have had some thing to do with the fact that I undercooked the second batch and put them away still warm. In my defense, it was 3 am.

But, still, my god, the recipe...

The cake is almond and coconut milk and oil. And it's so moist and delicious. I didn't have the time or cherries for the filling, so I just used a nice cherry jam. But MY GOD, they're so good. SO good. First time I've filled a cupcake, and I can attest to the fact that life is not too short... to fill a cupcake. In fact, I may just splurge on a special tip for injecting cupcakes with filling. Sigh. The buttercream, the moist almondy cake, the explosion of wet cool cherry in the middle. Ung! Make them!

I'll come back and put up a photo later, I can find the frigging camera. How many places would I have put it? Seriously!

Uh- why is it that this post just makes me think of sex, sex, sex? Maybe that's just me. If so- please forgive.
