Lusog Notes

Did you know that raisins provide carbohydrates needed by the body for energy? It also has fiber that helps cleanse the body.

Chef`s Tip

For a softer cupcake, do not overmix the batter once you have added the flour. Proteins in the flour develop web-like structures in the batter as you mix, making the cake tougher. Mix only until the flour is incorporated into the creamed butter mixture.
