Sorry about that. Just haven't gotten around to making this one :( So, FYI this is from LAST week.
This Week: Chocolate Mayonnaise Cupcakes with Caramel Butterscotch Buttercream Frosting
I know what you're thinking, especially as a fellow mayonnaise hater: "Mayo in a cupcake? Eww.". And yes, the recipe required not a tablespoon, not a fourth of a cup, not even a half a cup, but a full, loaded cup. However... It turned out really good. Couldn't even taste it, but I think what it did do was add moisture to it.... Yum.
As for the frosting... Meh. I had higher hopes. It didn't turn out the right texture, which I think is because I used a whisk to beat it in (seriously, I hate that there's a difference between a whisk and a beater). Moreover, I think I was a little grossed out because it used a LOT of butter (I guess hence the name "buttercream"). It all turned out okay, and I kind of want to make it again to see if it would turn out different; but as it was, the recipe was WAY too detailed and long. And strange. Very strange. As in put-a-bowl-of-egg-and-sugar-into-a-boiling-pan-of-water-strange. Yeah.
