In honor of TODAY, being National Cupcake Day, here’s Mom’s copycat recipe for “Yellow Cupcakes” [Like Sanders’], with [Sanders’] Buttercream (Icing); as seen in her self-published cookbook… The Copycat Cookbook (Secret RecipesTM, St. Clair, MI; April 1988, p. 56). As always, I’m asking only for proper credit if you care to re-share it.
