The mini cupcakes are just the right size for nibbling. These cupcakes turned out to be a dense cake with little pockets of air. This was an interesting recipe because you don't just dump in a can of soup, for these cakes you place the can of soup in a bowl and sprinkle with baking soda. This soup mixture is set aside and is added last. They are even reddish in color. The cupcake is laced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and in this case cardamom. (I need to buy allspice)
I halved all of the ingredients and made 24 little cakes.

The Marscapone Frosting was a wonderful addition to the spicy cupcake. This was fun to share, the addition of Tomato Soup got a lot of raised eyebrows and happy faces after tasting. This is a good one!
I too loved the frosting, and I thought these were fun to make as well. Nice work!
ReplyDeletedid you notice the tomato soup bubbling after you sprinkled on the baking soda? i thought that was kinda cool :) great job on the mini cupcakes!
ReplyDeleteMinis would probably be dangerous for me to have around! I'd be popping them like candy! Your cupcakes look adorable.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! These were quite tasty.
ReplyDeleteYour minis look so sweet and like Bri said way too easy to keep on popping into your mouth. I know what you mean about the raised eyebrows, I would introduce them as spiced cakes and when they tasted them I would tell them the secret ingredient-everyone was shocked but really liked them.
