Strawberry-Cranberry Cupcakes

By
"The answer can be 'no'," said my friend as she flagged me down on campus, but with me, it's usually 'yes'. And she knows it!

So, they were planning a party for the last day of school and thought that my muffins would be a healthier option than cupcakes in a clamshell. Would I? Could I? Of course I would bake two dozen cupcakes for her...

2 C white whole wheat flour
2 t baking powder
1-1/2 t baking soda
1 t ground cardamom
1 t ground ginger
4 eggs
2 C organic raw sugar
1 C unsweetened applesauce
1/2 C olive oil
2 C sliced strawberries
1 C dried cranberries

Preheat oven to 350. Whisk all wet ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Stir in strawberries. Fold in dry ingredients until just moistened. Scrape batter into cupcake liners, sprinkle with raw sugar, and bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

    I bet they were a huge hit with parents and kids alike! ISM and your friends are so lucky to have you, Camilla! Gotta admit, I'm a little jealous -- wish you were at Forest Grove with us!

Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...
