I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 






Oh WOW! Thanks for sharing this recipe. I just pulled them out of the oven – the look stunning. The batter was so thick – I used a cookie scoop to heap the batter into muffin tins, and they rose beautifully. I thought that it would be too much, but it seemed like the tins that I “over-filled” were the most beautiful. Can’t wait to put the frosting on and try them!
