"I used light brown muscovado sugar in these cupcakes, and they had amazing flavor. Muscovado sugar is darker, and the color and flavor comes from cane sugar rather than molasses. If you can't find it locally, try online merchants or use regular light or dark brown sugar in the cupcakes. Large Picture of Butter Pecan Cupcakes..."
