Last week I made an amazing cupcake. I love fresh fruit with vanilla cake. I like when the cupcake is cool, frosting is a little cool, and then you get the cold fruit. I’m not a fruit cake fan, but I like fruit on my cake. Big difference.
My husband loved these cupcakes! His favorite are my Trifle cupcakes. For vanilla, he said this is his fave!! They have a texture almost like shortcake. On to the recipe!
