Carrot cupcake with walnuts
A lot to write about this miracle, I will only say that when children with grandchildren going home, I usually cut them with a decent piece of cake, cupcake or cake... whatever I had available. For the first time... the FIRST time my husband whispered to me in the kitchen in his ear: "don't cut off the cupcake, I'll eat it!":))) The recipe is from the magazine "School of Gastronome".
