I’m not sure why, but I love cupcakes. There’s something about having my own serving of delicious cake - often beautifully decorated, usually big enough to satisfy yet small enough to avoid significant guilt - that seems absolutely perfect, whether we’re celebrating my daughter’s birthday or just enjoying a night on the patio with neighbors.
So it’s with joy and anticipation that I search for different kinds of cupcakes using Primo Recipes. Here are a few sample searches, all of which return loads terrific recipes, with the best rated and most reviewed first:

Whitney in Chicago has an excellent recent post that describes the joys of Molly Wizenberg’s “A Homemade Life,” highly recommending the book for its wonderful stories, photos, and recipes. If the banana bread recipe posted in the blog is any indication, the book is totally amazing. Without giving too much of the recipe away (you’ll have to read Whitney’s post for that), here’s an excerpt of the blog:
As soon as I read the name of “Banana Bread with Chocolate and Crystallized Ginger” I knew that I needed to make it for my ginger-loving fiend of a boyfriend. I wouldn’t have ever thought to put little chunks of crystallized ginger into a quick bread but it is fantastic. This is a denser banana bread than the uber-moist variety that I have been making on a regular basis but it is very good. I took Molly’s suggestion of freezing the loaf after we have enjoyed a few slices and eating it cold, straight from the freezer. I almost like it better this way. I hope you try it because this recipe is a keeper.
I recommend reading Whitney in Chicago’s entire post. After that, search for banana bread recipes on Primo Recipes and see what you find. It’s a pretty great list.
