Maple cupcake

My J sis gave me a bottle of maple syrup and was sitting in my fridge for more than a month. I wonder how should, i do about it and saw Happy Flour using it to make cupcakes. Hence, i decide to try it too. Wow! the texture of the cake was indeed very soft and fluffy filled with the aroma of maple syrup. The combination of walnuts was excellent too.
