This is my second time attending such session. I like it as it is informal and just a bunch of people gathering together to share.
For the first session, it was a lemon cake that I have yet to attempt on my own. I guess I will try that soon and blog about it another day.
In the meantime, here is the Red Velvet Cupcake that was shared. I changed the frosting as I prefer something less sweet.
Come to think about it, it has been ages since I last bake cupcakes. Luckily those liners are still good to use.
Overall, this is a nice recipe. Thanks T for the demo.
Findings: The texture is light and fluffy. We really like it.
