This was so yummy, instead up using all the dry ingredients I subbed a devils food cake mix and just added oil,eggs, and milk along with all the raspberry ingredients. I have had to many compliments and request to make them again.

I really loved these cupcakes and especially the champagne buttercream. I used a Spumonti sparkling wine and it was a bit too sweet for my taste, so next time I will use something drier. I also plan to add a homemade raspberry jam to boost the raspberry flavor. The texture is rather different than most cupcakes, but we didn't mind that!

I live at 9000' and used the following adjustments and they turned out to be the greatest looking cupcake I have ever made at this altitude! (The texture turned out like a cupcake, not a muffin - like other reviews state, and they are delicious, too! If you are in the mountains like me, use: 1 egg (not 2, 2 C.+ 2 T. flour, 3/4 T. baking SODA, 1 1/4 c. sugar, 3/4 c. oil, 1 1/2 t. raspberry extract (I didn't have raspberries. I am using a different recipe for the frosting...

Well I looked at everyone else's reviews and changed the recipe. I added an egg and 1/4 oil!! Perfect cupcake consistancy. I also made a raspberry glaze for the top of the cupcake to go under the frosting! It was delicious!!! Also I could not find champagne flavoring so I grabbed rum!! So i guess I made a new cupcake altogether, Rum Raspberry! Delicious!!! I made them last night and everyone loved them so much they are almost gone this morning.

This recipe definitely has the consistancy of muffins. Would anyone suggest using cake flour instead of all purpose flour? I've never used cake flour before. I added 1 more tsp of raspberry extract to the batter as the flavor was too bland, and that did the trick. So I just need some advice to not have the muffin consistancy. Thanks!

First time making cupcakes ever, so perhaps this is user error but my cupcakes turned out more like muffins. They didn't tast horrible, but not great. The frosting was okay, I added some raspberry extract to the frosting and I liked it more. It would almost be better to make as muffins with a raspberry butter spread with some warm tea, that would be nice.

Cupcake was very good, but the frosting was like eating a stick of butter. Didn't like frosting at all.

Horrible recipe. The cupcakes were dense, almost tasted like a muffin. They also had a weird muddy flavor. Not one that I will ever make again.
