My grandma Lorraine Stromgren would listen to WCCO Radio's Joyce Lamont as she broadcasted a daily recipe. My grandma would sit by the radio with pencil in hand to write down those recipe favorites!

Of over 2,000 recipes that had been broadcasted, the cookbook has the recipes that were the listeners' favorites. -- posted by Bec

Red Velvet Cupcakes

Mon, 05 Dec 2005 16:32:32 -0500

A beautiful cupcake for Christmas -- or Valentine's Day. The cake has become almost traditional for the upcoming season and now here is an individual-sized serving to highlight a dessert tray. The recipe came from a book of cupcake recipes and decorating ideas. I'm sorry to say I know neither the name of the book nor the author but am grateful to have gotten such a great recipe! Note that the recipe for a suggested frosting is included at the end of the recipe, but any white frosting of your choice may be used. Edited to add: The recipe comes from the book "Hey There, Cupcake!" by Clare Crespo. It contains lots of decorating ideas. -- posted by Lorraine of AZ

Sour Cream Cheesecake Cupcakes

Wed, 24 May 2006 22:30:53 -0400

I was cooking with a friend one day when we had a hankering for cheesecake. The only problem was that my favorite cheesecake recipe took all night to set. To fix the time problem, we came up with the genius idea of baking them in cupcake form so that they would cool faster. It turned out fabulously and the cupcakes make perfect individual servings to serve at parties or after dinner. -- posted by sofie #2

From "The Farm Vegetarian Cookbook," which I found for $1 at a used book store! Modified slightly. You can also use one cup of white sugar and one cup of brown sugar, or two cups of brown sugar.

Chocolaty Chocolate Chip Whole Wheat Muffins

Tue, 18 Dec 2007 01:59:51 -0500

I was originally interested in making a chocolate nut bread from Very Best Baking but decided I needed something more chocolaty and with more spices. So I decided to merge that recipe with another muffin recipe I use that calls for cinnamon and nutmeg. I wanted it to look chocolaty too though so I also added cocoa powder. I do want to add that this recipe is not very sweet. It is just right. You can use just all purpose flour if desired. This recipe will make 48 regular sized muffins or 24 Texas sized muffins. You can also freeze some for later. -- posted by Jasmine31

The popular Diet Soda Cake! I invented a frosting for this cake that is light and creamy and really great. You can make a frosting for it if you'd like, but you really do not need it. YOU MUST STORE THIS CAKE IN THE FRIDGE ESPECIALLY IF YOU USE THE FROSTING! This cake, including the icing, freezes wonderfully! A 2"x2" piece is 2 points (approx. 100 cals and a scant 1/2g fat).

Spooky Spider Cupcakes/Muffins for a Howling Halloween!

Tue, 30 Sep 2008 15:28:38 -0400

I JUST love these little spider cakes, when I make them, their faces make me laugh - well, I am easily pleased! Furthermore, they are VERY tasty - they have a much better flavour than NORMAL spiders I find, their legs are a little too chewy! The cake mixture is a double chocolate cake mixture - with cocoa and chocolate pieces, topped off with a chocolate butter cream. The decorations are made using Liquorice Allsorts and liquorice strings/laces or Catherine wheels as we call them in Great Britain. They are easy to make and can be frozen before you decorate them. I made these for TOTM Cooking School September 2008 - I hope you find the step-by-step photos handy when you come to bake and decorate them. An idea we had for an adult Halloween party - turn the spiders upside down so they have their legs in the air, and scatter wine corks amongst them on a plate........only joking! :-) If you fancy some wise companions for these spooky spiders, try these: Recipe #326716. -- posted by French Tart

Vanilla Bean Cupcakes

Sat, 16 May 2009 10:41:52 -0400

Credited to Sarah Howard- printed on May 12 edition of Creative Loafing. This cake calls for whole eggs along with an equal ratio of egg whites to keep it light and fluffy, and maintain the pure color. The use of the vanilla bean makes a big difference in the fragrance and overall taste of the cake as well, so go ahead and splurge in the spice aisle. After you're done scraping out the tiny seeds, throw the pod into a mason jar with baker's sugar, keep it in the cupboard and use the vanilla-infused sweetness to add an extra dimnsion to your recipes. -- posted by Sparkmonkey

Taterbug's Red Velvet Cupcakes

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 16:22:55 -0400

This is my favorite recipe for Red Velvet Cake or Cupcakes. The combo of flour and cocoa may seem odd, but I like a more pronounced cocoa flavor plus I love the tender even result of cake flour, and the healthful and tender result of WWPF. I tried this recipe yesterday and it came out so moist, tender, and scrumpious. It is not traditional but I am a southern girl at heart, so I do love my Red Velvet. I hope you enjoy! Note: Please watch these closely as they bake! As with any cake recipe, if overcooked, it will be dry. -- posted by TaterBug! :)

Get 'em in there any way you can Mommy....until they get over the YUCK phase. THIS TOO SHALL PASS! And with these cupcakes, it looks like our secret is safe!! -- posted by Mommy Diva

Magnolia Red Velvet Cupcakes W/ Vanilla Buttercream And/Or Cream

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 16:24:09 -0400

The famous Magnolia Red Velvet Cupcakes with the original Vanilla Buttercream Frosting or try Cream Cheese Frosting for a little variation, mix-n-match, or even try swirling the two on top in a sort of ying/yang or marbled pattern...if you add a little bit of food coloring to one of them you can make a very unique treat. I've done it with hues of soft yellow, pink, purple, green, etc depending on the occasion where I was serving it! -- posted by GoldsmithLissa
