1. 1

   These black cupcakes are made from Jiffy mix with 1/2 teaspoon of apple pie spice added. Jiffy mix costs about 60 cents and it is actually quite tasty. A mix makes about 8 cupcakes. The mix is recession proof and I like that it only makes a few cupcakes. It's hard to eat a dozen cupcakes, but eight I can manage. And if you've never had Jiffy cornbread, you're missing out. It's pretty damn tasty. (It does contain animal lard. Sorry, vegetarians.)

   I wanted to make black cake. I used black gel dye to color the batter. It takes a lot of dye to make cake black. I added 1/2 teaspoon of apple pie spice to give the cupcake at little something extra. Apple pie spice give the cake an "autumn" taste.
