    I just finished baking the cupcakes--they turned out perfectly, light not cloying...best things, made exactly the amount stated and they were sweet many scratch recipes are not sweet enough these are.., the person who rated these with only 1 star either didnt use the correct measurements or filled them too full... 1/4 cup scoop made exactly 24...a must try...I didnt use buttercream recipe because I love chocolate frosting on yellow cake...

    The cupcakes are very good and light, but my main concern was the consistency of the buttercream. Mine was so thin, almost like soup. I beat it for a lot longer and it got a little thicker but it still didn't work out.

    This is truly the perfect cupcake. I've made them at least 1/2 dozen times now, each time they came out perfect. I do, however, add a little more vanilla to the recipe, as I do all my baking. Thanks for a wonderful cupcake recipe!

    I made these for a super bowl party and they were a hit. I used my favorite chocolate frosting and what a treat! They were super moist and a delicious flavor.

    Delicious! The only problem I had was with the shape of the cupcake. I felt that it was a little flat but can definitly be covered up with the frosting.

    This recipe's great for regular cakes and actually madeleine's too. For madeleine's, I just added some extra butter. I use this recipe all the time.

    These cupcakes oozed all over my oven. A big waste of time for a school bake sale.

    cupcakes and frosting were yummy. i made the frosting a day ahead and when i brought it to room temp. the frosting appeared curdled. the taste was fine but looked unattractive.

    I made these for our neighbor hood picnic and they went over well. They were better then many of the trendy cupcake stores that have been opening in Beverly Hills here (seriously.
    I will be making these tonight for my one year olds birthday party tomorrow. I did use store bought frosting but topped em off with mini m&ms or coconut.
