Yesterday, Kristen and I made Snickerdoodle Cupcakes for Patty and Cam’s birthday party. We’ve made these cupcakes a few times, usually using the recipe from The Cake Mix Doctor, and they are always a hit. If you need a recipe everyone will enjoy, this is it.If you’ve ever read any recipes from The Cake Mix Doctor, you know that Anne Byrn starts with a cake mix, substitutes higher quality/more flavorful ingredients than the box instructions suggest and mixes in a few extra things to create a better basic cake, or totally transform the cake into something new.
Well, instead of using the shortcut recipe, I convinced Kristen to let us try another recipe and make the cake from scratch. The recipe resulted in a denser cake than The Cake Mix Doctor snickerdoodle recipe, which I actually prefer. If you like denser cakes, with a more muffin-like texture, then this recipe is for you. However, if you prefer a lighter cake texture, go with the The Cake Mix Doctor recipe.
