beelikejAfter last week's break (due to an excellent long weekend to London with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tanisafan) I continued the CupCake Experiment this weekend. Since I still hadn't managed to make a whole succesful batch, I decided to try the plain vanilla recipe again, this time with raisins.
I whisked and I whisked and I whisked and must say I was rather proud of how the batter turned out: it finally felt and looked like it was described in the book! After the previous tries I also figured out how hot my oven needs to be and I learned not to fill the cups too high.artistic_sillie suggested I put the paper cups inside the plastic ones, so they would keep their shape.
I added raisins to half of the batter, to experience the difference...
Tadaah!
No melted cupcakes this time = no need to scrub the oven afterwards! Wahey.
They tasted great, except that I noticed I used too many raisins; those three cupcakes had a bit too much air in them and the insides were a bit soggy. But they were yummy too, so I still win:)
Next time I may pick a more daring recipe...
