Marble Cupcakes

Marble Cupcake Recipe from A Spoonful of Sugar

Three of us have been sick with the flu this week so sadly that has cut into our time for sewing, baking, and crafting.  The only cooking I have been doing is making soup – pumpkin; zucchini; and minestrone. There is nothing quite like soup to make you feel better when the winter colds/flu strike!

A few weeks ago, Sarah baked a batch of delicious Marble Cupcakes.  The combination of chocolate and vanilla batter make for a lovely cake that really needs no frosting or adornment – they are amazing as they are. Unfortunately they are all long gone now. We can’t wait for Sarah to feel better so she can restock our freezer with her baked goods. This week we had to resort to packaged cookies and treats instead of our usual supply of freshly baked goodies. Times are tough indeed …

      Thanks Laura! We are getting there – the flu this winter is a bad strain – it is taking a while to bounce back. Good weather for spending time in the sewing room today.

    That’s a fantastic recipe. I follow a similar recipe where I use buttermilk instead of cream and 1 1/2 tsps baking powder. Next time around I should try using heavy cream. Love the images.
