Sudan is a huge country in Africa so I can't say for sure....but I think I have photos of the first cupcakes ever made in Sudan. My husband Bo is currently working at Mother of Mercy Hospital in Gidel, a remote village in southern Sudan. I sent a pumpkin cupcake mix and tub of applesauce with him so he could make cupcakes there. The mix required one egg - a luxury item that I did not expect him to be able to provide. Thank you to the kitchen staff for sacrificing that egg!
The hospital kitchen has a wood-fired stove and the kitchen staff prepared the mix and baked the cupcakes. I sent free-standing liners so no pan would be necessary. The final product was a pumpkin cupcake with jam for icing...Sudanese cupcake success!
Shukran (Arabic for "thank you") to the hospital kitchen staff for making the cupcakes and to Bo for photographing the process.
