recipe from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World
I promised my boyfriend that if he bought me
this pan I would use it to bake him a cake, and he bought it for me
that very day, going to the mall and everything. Then I didn't make him a cake until two or three weeks later, because I am a terrible girlfriend.
This is the first cake I've made using this pan, and it turned out a little wonky. I doubled the cupcake recipe, but I probably should have tripled it, as I didn't have enough batter to fill the pan all the way, and the shapes came out a little wonky. The cake also turned out a little dry around the edges - next time I'll cook it at a lower temperature.
However, so far the giant cupcake seems to be a hit. This is recreation of one of the cupcake variations I made for the boyfriend's last birthday, so I knew he would like it. All of my friends seemed suitable impressed, or at least willing to eat cake. So now I just need to work on creating the perfect giant cupcake.

i have one of those pans! i posted about the cake i made last year for my daughter’s birthday with it! it came out cute. i think i used 2.5 batches of batter for the cake, if i remember correctly…and cooked it at a lower temperature for longer.

Wow! Your giant cupcake looks really impressive. By the way, I see the big container of nutritional yeast in the background!
