How hard can it be to bake yellow cupcakes from scratch, right? That's what I thought especially since I was using the yellow cake recipe (on page 674) from The Joy of Cooking.
Well, it must be really hard or I mis-measured. It took forever to cream the butter, sugar, egg yolks, vanilla and then add the flour, baking powder, salt, and milk and then forever to actually bake the cupcakes and when they were supposed to be done, THEY WEREN'T. I kept putting them back in the oven hoping they would eventually cook all the way through, but they never did. The tops browned beautifully but the inside was chewy and raw.
Oh, it makes me so angry to have to throw out food, but I had to do it. Isabella cried because she "helped" me bake the cupcakes. (she kept herself busy by playing in the sink with water and a squirt bottle.) I'l have to find a new recipe so we can do it again. I am so bummed.
More later...
