I have included applesauce in the cupcake batter which, along with the oil, makes these cupcakes so moist. But, if you like, you could use an equal amount of grated apple or even crushed pineapple. You can also add 1/2 cup (120 ml) of currants or raisins to the batter. Carrot Cakes became popular with the health food craze of the 1970s. There are many theories on the origin of this cake, some say it descended from the English's baked carrot puddings or European steamed carrot puddings.

The recipe for checkerboard cookies is simple: flour, butter, powdered sugar and some cocoa. Because it is simple, use the best ingredients you can find because the flavor of each ingredient will come out in the finished cookie. Use Dutch-processed cocoa if you have it, because it lends a darker color to the cookies.

Majestic and Moist New Year's Honey Cake - N'0ven Bake at Pressure Cooker. Jews eat honey cake on Rosh Hashanah, AKA Jewish New Year, as a symbol of hope for a sweet year to come. This one is deliciously moist with an alluringly crisp edge. I like a New Year's honey cake to be extra moist and sweet, as good on the day of baking as it is days later.
