British Agents Hacked al Qaeda Website and Exchanged Bomb-Making Recipe With ...

These cupcakes are exploding with flavor.

British Intelligence agents from MI6 and the U.K.’s Government Communication Headquarters set out to disrupt an al Qaeda recruitment effort by hacking an English-language magazine meant to recruit “lone-wolf” terrorists.

According to The Telegraph , agents replaced an article titled, “Make a bomb in the Kitchen of your Mom” by “The AQ Chef” with a page of computer code.

The code was actually an encrypted version of a web page for “The Best Cupcakes in America” published by the Ellen DeGeneres talk show.

The website highlights Mojito Cupcakes, as well as “irresistable” Caramel Apple mini-cupcakes.

Family Friendly Fridays: Caramel Apple Cake | Mommie Cooks!

And tell me that doesn’t sound good.

The inspiration for this delicious creation was actually gleaned from my newly aged five year old, Alex.  When asked what flavor of cake he wanted to have for his birthday, he promptly replied, “Apple”.  I thought about it for a minute, taking into consideration the fact that it was something of a unique answer from what the typical child might request, and then decided that it was no challenge for this mom of three.  If apple cake was what he wanted, then apple cake was what he would get.  And boy did he ever get it.

Cream together the two sticks of butter along with the brown and white sugars.

Next up, add in your eggs and vanilla. Mix it well and add in your cake flour and baking powder.

Combine the ingredients together and then add in your evaporated milk and your apple pie spice.

Lastly you'll add in your apples and the chopped up caramels.

Fold them into the mix, grab yourself two 9" cake pans that have been greased up and lined with parchment, and pour equal amounts into each pan.

Place them in an oven set to 350 degrees for 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Grab the other half of the bag of caramels and throw them in your double boiler along with the cream. Melt it on low heat.

Once it's melted completely, remove it from the heat and give it a few minutes to cool back down.

While your caramel is cooling, drop a stick of butter and the powdered sugar into your mixer. Bring your cooled melted caramel over and drop it into the bowl as well. Mix it all together.

Frost cake with frosting and enjoy.
