That’s right. I said, “Jelly. Donut. Cupcakes.”

I made these for Kirsten’s birthday. I was skeptical that a cupcake could taste of donut, but I shouldn’t have worried. These taste a lot like my favorite donuts from my youth. The recipe is from Veganomicon and was really easy to make (except for the batch I had to throw away because I forgot to add baking soda, grrrrrrrrrr). The filling in mine fell to the bottom of the cupcake, though, but I believe that’s because I used preserves and not the grocery store jelly that the recipe calls for. No matter; they still tasted great. I totally did not have one of these for breakfast. What?
