Don't be fooled by the plain-looking vanilla cupcake. This Plain Vanilla is nothing like a plain vanilla - it's fantabulous!! Y'know how the 'easiest' recipes are the toughest to WOW eaters? Yes, it takes a lot to wow a dessert fanatic like yours truly cos having had so many cupcakes in my lifetime, my internal benchmark for cuppies is not low. This, wow-ed me! I was excited and fully impressed by the speckles of black pods within the perfect swirl of cream. I'm never a fan of cream but PV's the only patisserie whose cream I'd lick clean. AND, within the cupcake, there're just MORE lil' black pods. So sexy, so moist and so fluffy. The only gripe, if any, that I have, would be the teeny cookie atop the cupcake which unfortunately, could not withstand the rocking motion here and there as I commuted on the train, on my way home. Well, I really did try really hard to 'protect' my cuppy.
