Kitchen Ladies hepimizin kurban bayramini kutlar

On occasion my mum and I take out our favorite baking recipe book and try out different cupcake and cake recipes. And what an occasion kurban bayrami (=Feast of the Sacrifies) is! It is our most important religious day of the year and is celebrated with tons of food and sugar. My new favourite cupcake dough is made with tea - yes, tea. Don't be scared, try it out!
