Basic Muffins

Cakes

So I did these muffins and they are great. Then I did them again and altered them a bit and they got better. The first batch was very good but a little under-sweet.

The process is exactly the same. The only difference is on the ingredients. These are my changes:

– Instead of ½ cup granulated sugar I used 1 cup—so I doubled the amount of sugar;
– Also, instead of 1 cup whole milk I used half a cup crème fraîche and half a cup whole milk.

I love this recipe because it’s super simple and quick to make. Very convenient if you need something sweet and filled with bad carbs.

Mojitos

I was in the mood for some mojitos so I made some.
