The history of this recipe is very funny. When I was 8 I came to her grandmother in the village in the Kemerovo region. Of course I didn't know how to cook anything. And grandma scolded me. How can you - she said. But I'm not worried that not cook at all. My life was just a sport. Grandmother was greatly surprised. She decided to cook one. She did a superb three course meal. After lunch, the whole family went to sleep and my grandmother, too.
And then it hit me! I have what to cook. In the kitchen were raisins and dried apricots. I decided to make a cupcake.
I found the egg, flour, oil and sugar, and mix all ingredients anyhow. Then I put the cake in the oven. Pushed the button and went to play. After an hour I disturbed the smell of cooking. I ran to the kitchen but she was ahead of me. She opened the oven. And we saw only embers. But where is my cupcake? Grandmother laughed for a long time. And then hugged me and told how to prepare a cake. I remember the recipe now.
