Spelt and Emmer Cupcakes
These delicate cupcakes have a nice sweetness and a subtle nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with cream cheese frosting. To make the frosting, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the flat beater, combine 1 cup softened cream cheese, 16 Tbs. (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 cup confectioners’ sugar and beat on medium speed until soft and creamy.
