Can't Keep Calm Because We Finally Have Izzie's Cupcake Recipe

By Divya Bajaj at University of Delhi

From the time I watched episode 8, named Save Me of Grey's Anatomy season 1, I couldn't stop thinking about Izzie's cupcakes. The secret ingredient that she keeps looking for the entire episode until the psychic patient helps her out with a simple 1 spoonful of coconut extract only added to my curiosity as to how those delicious looking cupcakes with the white swirly frosting would actually taste. 

It's been long since the series ended, breaking my heart, but I couldn't get those cakes out of my mind. Long story short, I looked up the recipe everywhere and found this, and all you fans out there, it's time for you to wear your baking hats, cuz this one, you'll want to try!
