Last week we posted a
Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake Recipe.
This is my version. Looks appetizing right? Well, not quite. My pantry substitutes consisted of peanut oil instead of vegetable oil and I skipped the apple cider vinegar all together (wasn't in the pantry). So just a word of advice for all the rudimentary bakers, follow the recipe as it is written....common sense, no? My tops did not rise, they were flat round crisp surfaces, while the center was moist but missing the explosive chocolate/espresso flavor I was expecting. The cupcakes were to crumbly to enjoy. Since the flour didn't bind well, I had to taste test on a plate with a fork. Let's just say, in the words of Chef Ron Ben-Israel, "You are no Sweet Genius."...........exit stage left
