My first batch!

Hello:)

Today I decided to bake my first batch. Before I started, a few questions popped into my head.

1.How am I going to eat all these cupcakes and stay in shape?

2.What will I do with them?

The answer to 1 was solved when I was running back and forth from my work station to the pantry and realized I was getting a workout. This is enough to satisfy the question.

The answer to 2 is to give the cupcakes away. Some lucky people at school tomorrow will be receiving cupcakes.

The recipe I used today is called kid-simple cupcakes, by Elinor Klivans. It goes as follows:

1 1/4 cups flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 large egg

1 large egg yolk

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup canola oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cup sour cream

I also made frosting:

1/2 cup butter

3 cups powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3-4 teaspoons milk

and I added orange zest for flavor

All of the ingredients I used were organic! Pretty shnazzy:) They tasted really good too!
