i only made the cupcake - and it was TO DIE FOR! i made it for a baby shower, along with "ina garten's beaty's chocolate cake" cupcakes and a white cupcake. the banana were by FAR the favorite. i'm not a banana person at all - i always go for chocolate. however, the banana cupcakes were the star of the show. i only made one batch and everyone requested more! i filled them with a nutella filling and topped with a cream cheese buttercream. seriously delicious.

My wife and I decided to have our own cupcake war for a date. I've never made a cupcake from scratch before but the recipe was helpful and the cupcakes turned out great! Rather than buy buttermilk, I found online that a substitute is a 1:1 ratio of plain yogurt and milk. I used 1/4 cup of whole milk. The cake batter was very thick but it baked just fine. I also followed the advice of an earlier review and added two TBSP of heavy whipping to the frosting. I added 2 cups of confectioners' sugar, 1/2 cup at a time but my frosting had little clumps where it didn't mix smoothly so next time I would let the Bosch keep running and sprinkle it in more slowly. The nuts on top hid the clump issue, though. My wife made the coconut cake with chocolate ganache and caramel buttercream recipe and so I used some of her leftover caramel to drizzle on top of my cupcakes. The banana cake was the best part of mine. Needless to say I also narrowly won the cupcake war with our friends as judges.

I made these yesterday and they are all GONE!!! Don't forget to add a few tablespoons of heavy whipping to the frosting recipe. that was left out when the recipe was put on the web page. A person could use milk but won't get the fluffiness. This recipe was so moist and delicious! I totally agree with Florian. One of the best banana cupcakes I have ever had. And I hate the taste of fake banana flavoring. This one is the real deal. GREAT RECIPE!!!!!
