Cupcakes!
Banana-Cardamom Cupcakes with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting, if we’re being fancy and descriptive about it. And oh my god, are they good. The cupcakes themselves are from the recipe here, found via foodgawker. They’re not what I’m used to making – the batter was really firm and almost cookie-dough-ish, as opposed to the more liquid cupcake batter I’ve made with other recipes in the past. It turned out wonderfully, though, and I have it on good authority from several people that the cupcakes are delicious.
The frosting is – well, we’ll call it chocolate buttercream, it’s sort of “the best I could do icing-wise with what I had in my kitchen,” but it’s made of cocoa and butter and icing sugar in proportions that worked out okay.

I’ve been in a bit of a baking mood lately, because I have so many exams this week, and I started these. You’ll have to wait until tomorrow to find out what they are, but I’ll give you a hint – they made my apartment smell amazing.

Ha. Sorry, guys. This is what happens when you give me a macro lens and I don’t get enough sleep: I start screwing around and taking weird pictures of random things. This is, uh, my dessert from dinner a couple of nights ago. I don’t even pretend to have made this cupcake – it’s from Whole Foods. And once I figured out that with half a cupcake and the right angle, I could make the shadow look like the other half of the cupcake? It was all downhill from there.
But delicious, once I finally put the camera away.
