It is a rainy Friday, sad and gloomy, just perfect to stay in bed, read a book or watch a cheesy- or cry- movie.
So, to brighten my mood I decided to bake cupcakes. Orange Zest Cupcakes are perfect for breakfast, especially if served with your favorite preserve. Mine is Red Raspberry Preserve with seeds, sweet yet sour enough to tingle my taste-buds.
You will need 2 eggs, 125 mL vegetable oil, 200 mL sugar, 100 mL milk, 60 mL sour cream, 300 mL all-purpose flour, zest of one orange, 2 tsp baking powder.
Mix all ingredients in the order they are listed and bake for 20 min in 375 *F preheated oven.
Enjoy with cup of coffee or tea!
When I cook I usually don't measure. So now that my babies are all grown up, I started to cook all their favorite foods with measuring cups, spoons, pencil, and a notebook by my side, recording every step for future references. Dinner table is that special place where all the family gathers to exchange events of the day, to share special moments, and to make important announcement. And if good home cooked food is served on that table, these gatherings become even more precious and memorable.
