NYC Butter Lane Bakery: Banana Cupcakes w/ Peanut Butter Frosting Recipe

Monday, January 25th, 2010

I am lazy enough to not cancel a magazine subscription that I didn’t even order.   This month I was glad that I didn’t cancel it because I found this recipe in a Glamour Magazine of all places.  The recipe is from New York City’s Butter Lane Bakery.

On Serious Eats they describe the difference between two different icing types that they use @ Butter Lane Bakery. They make an American icing version and a French version.  This recipe is the Americano! What do you think?
