We used to get Mexican lime cupcakes at the Olive Mill. There used to be a recipe on the old website for them. Is it just as simple as using different flavored oils or is it a different recipe?
It is as simple as using different flavored oils!
Is it possible to freeze these cupcakes? Many thanks and love coming to “load up” each winter season before we head back home to Iowa.
