vini, with tea it’s absolutely delicious! And if you try to cook it in this variation, it will turn out a little softer

For my taste, the recipe is full of ingredients: nuts and candied fruits, and cherries with raisins. I like it when there are at most two dominant flavors in a pie or cupcake. Cherry itself is very rich; it does not need additional “decoration”. Therefore, I will leave cherries and almonds as a filling, it will add some piquancy, it should be very tasty! But, again, it depends on the taste and color...)

Very relevant, especially for winter, cupcake. Dried fruits and candied fruits, there are a lot of them on sale in winter, and other products are available. It looks very appetizing, so rich and most importantly there is a lot of filling, and it is varied, the assortment is unique. But the question arises, can brown sugar be replaced with regular sugar? Or is it fundamental?

Thanks to the author for such a fragrant recipe))) Lately I’ve been very interested in baking, specifically making cupcakes, so a recipe like this is a real joy for me. I love adding nuts to my cupcakes, so this almond cupcake is just the thing! I also love prunes and cherries, and it goes without saying what a cupcake would be without raisins)) The combination of ingredients is simply impressive.
