Last week I saw a recipe for a yummy frosting on Pioneer Woman’s blog. As I read over the ingredients and directions for the frosting, I recognized the frosting. It was MY favorite frosting!
What I failed to consider was the possibility of frosting other baked goods with this amazing “cooked” frosting recipe. I haven’t made Red Velvet Cake in years — although I used to make it for all the kids birthdays — until they started requesting other cakes or desserts. Or dirt….cake.
Call it the power of suggestion — or craving — or a sweet tooth, but I needed a reason to make these chocolate cupcakes and frost them with my favorite frosting. When friends of ours called Saturday afternoon inviting us over for dinner that night — I started baking.
The frosting did not disappoint.
The cupcakes weren’t bad either.
