Streusel Cupcake
I was assisted again by another beautiful neice Clarice for this cupcake that has all the features of a traditional coffee cake. Clarice says her favorite subject in school is language arts, but by her demonstration you would have thought math or science since she was so precise with the measurements. Recipe has many steps but very easy to follow. First started off making the streusel topping which required ingredients you already have in your kitchen-flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt and butter. Batter was no different with more flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract and the magic ingredient-sour cream which is responsible for the moistness of the cake.
Milk Glaze:
My cupcake did not look as pretty as Martha's. Glaze looked a little runny before I drizzled it on, should have added more confectioners' sugar.
This would be the perfect cupcake to make for beginning bakers-easy, no fancy ingredients, and foolproof. Scott said it tasted like a coffee cake he ate as a little boy in Pennsylvania. Could I have tapped into his bank of comfort food? It was a Ratatouille moment!
