Stir-fried Soumen

Cupcakes & Spaghetti Vongole
I just had the urge to bake on Monday, so I did! I cheated and just bought a pre-mix though. Haha…I baked lemon cupcakes with a simple icing. It was delish! I’m not a cake person so one is enough for me. 🙂 So satisfying to bake perfect cupcakes without having to measure the flour...
