GCC: Greek Yogurt Cake

They say that the simple things in life are the most extraordinary.  Its true, we take it for granted.  Humans are the ones that complicated things.

In this case, this recipe cannot be overthought, or over complicated.  It is what it is.

A fast batter to put together with simple ingredients that I bet, are sitting in your pantry/refrigerator right now. And the end results is a great snacking cake.

ABC - Emergency Blender Cupcakes

This month’s Avid Bakers Challenge is a quick one.  I love quick recipes.  The ones that utilize one bowl come together pretty quickly and end up being a delicious treat.

In this recipe, these cupcakes are made in the blender.

Yep,  you read it right - in.the.blender.  The one you use to make smoothies in.  But, in this case, we will use it to make cupcake batter.

Happy Birthday NYBoy 1!

Happy Birthday (belated) NYBoy 2!

Happy Birthday son to be brother-in-Law!
