Tried it today, Carolyn, and it went well :) Who knew cooking from scratch took so much time, though? Wow! They’re delicious, even though I used whole wheat flour and pink food coloring to make them into princess cupcakes. Had to do white chocolate chips for Annie so the frosting could be pink, but that worked pretty well too :)
Thanks again!

Happy Birthday! Will have to add this recipe to my birthday cake repertoire. I like how you include the times needed to beat each ingredient. Sometimes making cakes can be nerve-wracking because I am afraid I am beating the flour too long and will end up with a tough cake.

I would love to have a chance to win the cookbook!

I just stumbled upon your blog today. It looks like my timing was perfect — the Zuni cookbook looks amazing. I found your blog in the first place because I was looking for something to do with the half bushel of tomatoes and bushel of apples I bought yesterday. Just made eight quarts of applesauce this afternoon.. Can’t wait to try your other recipes.

Let me start by saying this cake looks absolutely delicious! Love the idea of a sour cream ganache too. I would love to win this book! It has been on my list of books to get for some time now. I have many fond memories of Zuni from the short time I lived in the Bay Area. Judy Rodgers’ food is fantastic and I am glad that you had the opportunity to experience it and I hope that you had a wonderful time on your birthday :)

Very fun meeting you at last, and you are indeed just as gorgeous as your sister! Sounds like you had fun, and I’m adding Zuni Cafe to my “must eat there” places!

My daughter’s birthday is later this month – she will officially be a teenager! She loves chocolate, and enjoys making things with me in the kitchen. I think she and I might make these cupcakes for her special day – I think she’ll love them and I’ll enjoy the time spent with her.

The cupcakes look fab – can’t wait to try them. My daughter’s bear is celebrating his weekly birthday again; maybe I can try them and spice things up a bit.

I would like to win the Zuni cookbook so I can finally learn how to make a more than so-so polenta and because no matter how much I beg my brother will not fly out on a whim to SF with me.
