Simple Chiffon Cupcakes

Chiffon CupcakesSpring, we are (almost) there. The snow never really showed up this winter. I am jumpy and waiting for more snow but I think we are out of the woods. It’s time to bust out the spring cleaning supplies and plan my garden.

These cupcakes are perfect for this early spring. Add a bit of mint extract and keep it in line with the chilly weather I am still expecting or add lemon and embrace an early spring.
