Instructions

This cupcake piqued my interest as soon as I saw the recipe on the Internet. I love wet citrus baked goods! 🙂 But, unfortunately, he categorically did not want to bake …
But I’m not the type to step back from an attractive but intractable recipe without making it successful. So I took the bit and baked it 7 times, changing the proportions of liquid and flour, baking time and temperature.
I even used two different ovens. 🙂 The first success happened for the fourth time: the cake was baked, but the aroma of tangerines was barely felt, and it was not at all what I wanted. I continued to experiment, and everything worked out! 🙂
