1

Whip up the cupcake batter

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 and a half cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. In a separate bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with 1/2 cup of whole milk. Mix until just combined.

2

Add some seaweed magic

Time to sprinkle in the seaweed magic! Stir in 2 tablespoons of finely ground seaweed. You can either use nori sheets and grind them up or find seaweed powder at your local specialty store. Blend it into the batter until evenly distributed. Trust us, this unexpected ingredient adds an incredible depth of flavor.

3

Bake to perfection

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake tin with paper liners. Fill each liner about two-thirds full with the seaweed-infused batter. Pop them in the oven and bake for approximately 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Let them cool on a wire rack.
