Today (and last night when I came home from work drunk...) I decided to throw healthy eating to the wind. Sort of...The past 2 days have been sort of "calorie-free" for me. Today the craving for chocolate took over and I was unable to control myself. The only logical next step was to make cupcakes. And eat them for dinner.
I used this recipe for the vanilla cake, adding some yummy vanilla hazelnut black tea to steep in the water. For the frosting, I used this recipe and added more tea to it.
Between the Hershey's Kisses, Hershey's Nuggets, and 5 cupcakes I ate for dinner, I'm about to throw up from all the sugar. With the frosting, the cupcakes are very sweet, but in a good way. I just ate too many other sweet things in too short of a time span.
Verdict? They might have a little too much tea flavor and none of the vanilla hazlenut flavor that I cherish when I drink a cup of tea every day. I'm in the midst of a major sugar crash right now and am pretty sure I have sugar-induced depression. Right, back to the cupcakes. They're ok. Will I make them again? Without the tea, maybe. But I'm debating throwing away the entire batch instead of taking them to work. The cakes are stuck in the wrappers, which is no fun.
Yes, I threw them out even though they were probably edible.
