It's cupcake weekend!

I'm really excited to try a *very* basic recipe for chocolate cupcakes.  I downloaded the instructions this afternoon and trekked to Whole Foods after work to pick up the ingredients. I'm new to baking and while perusing a number of cupcake recipes it became clear that the following ingredients belong in the kitchen of any aspiring vegan baker:

• Apple cider vinegar
• Baking powder/baking soda
• Vanilla extract 
• Almond extract 
• Agave 
• White Flour
• Whole Wheat Flour
• Canola oil 
• Powdered sugar 
• Regular ole sugar 
• cocoa powder
• shortening 

If you want to try these cupcakes (and it looks painfully simple) you can download the recipe at www.chow.com/recipes/10794

I need to head back to the office this weekend to pick up my camera - which I left in my desk drawer - so I can snap and post photos of the cupcakes.  Can't wait to try them - wish me luck!
