Way too dense, and not nearly sweet enough. Cupcakes from a box are easier to make and much better tasting, I would find a different recipe if you are set on making home-made vanilla cupcakes

I'm on a milk-free diet, so I substituted water for the whole milk, and the cupcakes were way too dense and heavy. It was no match for Duncan Hines cake mix, which is lighter and more delicate.

Best cupcakes to come out of my kitchen. I couldn't bring myself to run to the store just for whole milk so I used 1%- they still turned out super yummy. I agree with previous posters that this cupcake turned out more dense than a box mix, but box mixes always produce such a feather light cupcake that it can't stand up to any frosting. I made my own buttercream frosting, with just butter, powdered sugar, milk and vanilla, and the cupcake stood up nicely. As far as "flavorless", I didn't have that problem either- I used salted butter as well as added salt and used a high quality vanilla. All in all, if I would have bought this cupcake at a bakery, I would have paid what they were asking and had been happy about it! :

Sorry Food Network. I had to give this recipe a low rating. The cup cake was bland, dense and greasy. I usually expect cake to be moist, sweet and light. The only time a cake should be dense is if it is a pound cake, gluten free or a torte. Maybe I will try again with more sugar and less butter. This cupcake resembled a corn muffin for me.

Just made these and tried one before I frosted it. It was super delicious, but I think it might be too sweet once I get the frosting on top. These are definitely easy and way better than a boxed mix. They are a little bit denser than the ones from the box, but I like that. I always find the box mix cupcakes too light and crumbly, and these are nice and moist and just light enough. I will definitely be making these again, but I'd probably cut back to 3/4 cup of sugar if you're pairing these with a really sweet icing like I am.

I just made this cupcake recipe, but baked it as a layer cake. The batter was very easy to make, and appeared light and fluffy, but when I tried it, it was dense. I would consider trying this recipe again for cupcakes, but the layer cake is not a repeat!
