Recipe this week: Chocolate Cupcakes!

Cake Ingredients

1 1/4 cups flour

1 cup sugar

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup warm water

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1 tsp distilled white or apple cider vinegar

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In an 8X8 square pan/dish, mix together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt with a fork, making sure it is really blended together. Add the water, vanilla, oil, and vinegar, and again, mix together so that it's really blended together. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides if necessary.

Bake!

Place in oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until a knife comes out clean. Cool on a rack completely (2 hours).

If doing cupcakes, bake 15 mins. Cool completely before frosting. (Makes 1 dozen)

Karen & Tori are live from the kitchen baking a crumb cake while talking about drinking! Tori does not drink and Karen does! The 2 have an open and honest conversation about drinking; how generationally it’s different, the desire to not, why it’s hard to stop, how to stop, weed vs alcohol, and so much more. We hope you enjoyed this episode of Let Me Call my Mom!

Recipe this week: New Jersy Crumb Cake

courtesy of @rebeccafirkser https://www.instagram.com/p/C8MjbedOaW2/?hl=en

NOTE: The amount of topping is enormous compared to the cake. I didn’t even use it all! You could pile it on or just make about 1/2 - 2/3 of what the recipe calls for. Totally your call!

The fact that we didn’t even get to our topic today! Mother/Daughter duo, Karen and Tori DeSimone clearly have a lot to say! Today, the 2 chat about their gym journeys, indoor vs. outdoor clothes, Frankie at the Bar, manifestations that came true, meeting celebrities, the 4th of July, and public breakdowns! Enjoy!!!
