literally.
same cupcake recipe, only without the vanilla and a heaping teaspoonful of chinese five spice in its place. topped with a blood orange juice and sugar glaze. sweet, citrusy and coffee-cakey at first, and then boomboomboom--kick of pepper, hint of anisette, wee backlash of bitter rind. if you don't have blood oranges, try it with grapefruit instead.

Now I'm lonesome for a cupcake. :-)
Ate, ask your mom for the story of how the frogs disappeared from the buffet table. One of the Santos aunties squealed to me the other day, hehehehe!

hi karen! she just laughed when i asked :-D
of! i would think this would be up your alley. it's a very tender, slightly spicy cake. i don't know why, but at first it seems almost...scandinavian to me, and then the peppery finish comes in to warm your belly. perfect!
