In a strange turn of events, it seems I have baked something with neither chocolate nor nuts. For those of you who are astonished, I think I may have redeemed myself by the presence of cream cheese frosting. I am further redeemed by the perfection that is these cupcakes. Oh, my, but they're good. Basically, these lovely little pound cakes are loaded with brown sugar, creating a wonderful caramel-like flavor.

I happened upon this recipe by accident and was instantly intrigued. A cupcake that tastes like pecan pie? How could I not try them? I'll admit that I was skeptical that these would take even remotely like pecan pie. But, all the comments were so positive that I figured there had to be something to them.
