Have Your Cake and Deep-Fry It, Too

Have you ever looked at a delicious cupcake and thought, "The only way this could be any more awesome is if I speared it with a stick and deep-fried it"? Me too! So it's crazy and exciting that someone (Cakespy over on Serious Eats) did just that, and they've shared the recipe.

I appreciate the nod to Paula Deen in Cakespy's post. I really think Paula might be trying to kill us with butter. But everything in moderation, right? One little deep-fried cupcake can't be too bad. . . . (And if you have leftover batter, Cakespy recommends deep-frying peanut butter cups. It's like I've died and gone to the greasiest — and most delicious — heaven imaginable.)

Many thanks to my friend who writes the scrumptious blog Brooklyn Plated for the tip!! :)
