I love baking, it is a kind of stress reliever for me. I enjoy the smell of baking a lot. Specially when something has bananas in them, my favourite ones..

These cupcakes are like perfect for parties, they are soft fluffy and full of flavour. Plus they are so easy to make as well. You just need to mix wet and dry separately and combine them together. That easy..
Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you…
