It has a bad rap.
Have a cupcake.
Make someone smile...put some flowers on them.
This is the Hazelnut cupcake recipe from Ollenghetti. It's basically this recipe without the figs and spices. I sometimes substitute almond flour for the hazelnuts and yogurt for the sour cream when I make this recipe (it's a favorite). These are relatively safe substitutions and sometimes it's a matter of working with what is at hand. The cupcakes are fabulous either way.
This morning there was also a butter issue. I was short butter when I went to make the cupcakes. A decision had to be made...go to the grocery store or make something else? But wait...there is a pint of whipping cream that needs to be used up.
So make butter!
P.S.
Love the explanation of "Bad Rap vs. Bad Rep vs. Bad Wrap" that can be found here. That a "bad wrap" should be saved for tortillas.
Also...I don't recommend stress eating, that is completely different than comfort food.
