Cupcakes
Description
Perfectly pairs with tea and coffee. As for whether this dessert lives up to its name, it certainly does—100%. Thanks to the classic cake batter method—creaming the butter—the cupcakes turn out incredibly tender, melt-in-your-mouth, light... In a word, velvety. Be sure to make "Red Velvet" cupcakes. Serve warm or chilled. Ideal with tea.
