Raspberry-lemon cupcakes

Hei tyypit!

Tänään vuorossa olisi tämän kesän ensimmäinen leipomuskokeilu. 

Koska seisoskelen kaikki päivät ihanien suomalaisten vihannesten ja marjojen takana niitä myyden, olen kokoajan altis inspiraatiolle. Säät eivät kuitenkaan ole oikein olleet meidän puolellamme, jonka takia suurinosa tuotteista ei ole erityisen "opiskelijalompakkoystävällisiä". Jokatapauksessa, kun tiskiin pärähti isoimmat ikinä näkemäni vadelmat, en enää pystynyt vastustamaan kiusausta. 

Aloinkin sitten siitä aikani kuluksi googlailemaan (miksi kukaan ei osta vihanneksia yhden ja kolmen välissä?) mitä noista ihanista marjoista voisin tehdä. Päädyin jälleen omalle turvallisuusalueelleni ja tekemään muffinsseja. Muokkailin hieman tätä reseptiä. Loppuen lopuksi, muokkailuista huolimatta, muffinsit onnistuivat melko hyvin. Sitruunaisia niistä kuitenkin tuli, eli sitruunan määrän kanssa kannattaa olla tarkkana, jossei ole sitruunan rakastaja niin kuin me!

Hey guys! 

Today I'm going to share the with baking experiment of this summer.

As I work behind vegetables and berries I constantly get inspired to do something with those yummy Finnish delicacies. However the weather has not been our friend and most of the things I sell are not really "student wallet friendly". Nevertheless, I could not resist the temptation when we got our first raspberries. They were HUGE and delicious. 

I did some googling in my spare time at work (why isn't anyone buying vegetables from 1-3pm?) and decided to go with my favorite: cupcakes. I ended up modifying this recipe. All in all it worked quite well, although it was very very lemon, so heads up, you might not want to add all the lemon to your cupcakes, if you are not lemon-enthusiastic like us!

Sorry about the modified recipe only being in Finnish! 

My mom's favorite chocolate muffins

Spring must be the most busiest time for me. Last spring I was basically living in the town's library when I was reading for my final exams. And as it happens, it is my home this spring too, because basically until I'll out of university, my life will probably be reading for exams and studying. But for now, I just need to get in to an university.

How does my study habits relate to the subject of muffins?

I will tell you; they are the easiest and fastest bakes I can make. And they still look aborable. I needed something easy and quick for my birthday as I only had one evening to bake for my birthday guests.

In my opinion this muffin could use some frosting or berries, but my mom love-love-looooooves them. So if you like chocolate and feel like doing something quick and easy, definitely give these muffins a go. I cannot take all the credit from this recipe, since Roosa gave it to me few years back as a christmas present.
