I know I've shared this recipe before (when I was talking about making your own wedding cake), but I just used the same recipe to make cupcakes, and I figured it was time to share it again. Pure deliciousness!
This recipe, from Alice Water's book, The Art of Simple Food, is the most thorough one I've ever read. It talks about the temperature of the ingredients, the importance of accurate measurements, the specific order for combining the milk and the flour into the batter--it's exactly what I needed! (If you click on each image, they should enlarge and be legible.)

if you enjoy the details of Alice Waters, you should check out Cook's Illustrated - they are relentless in their testing and recipes.
Did you make your own cake?
Hi, Courtney: No, we didn't. We bought a bunch of smaller cakes from Whole Foods (which you can read about here: http://2000dollarwedding.com/2008/07/weve-chosen-to-keep-it-simple.html).
But here's a post about someone who did make her own cake: http://2000dollarwedding.com/2008/10/homemade-wedding-cake-perfection.html
