Cake part is good. However, even after adding 2 tbsp of sour cream as suggested by other users I still found it to be less moist than I would have liked. When I eat a cupcake it needs to be very moist for me to like it. I think I will experiment with replacing some of the butter with vegetable oil next time.
Second, more importantly, I was very disappointed by the frosting. It it is made with A LOT of butter and I could taste the butter in the frosting, to the point that it really detracted from the overall experience. Very disappointed with the frosting.
This is the second cupcake wars recipe I have made (I also tried the chocolate caramel cupcakes and so far these cupcakes are not even close to as good as some of the gourmet cupcakes I have tried.
One random place that has GREAT cupcakes is Humpys Pizza in Fort Lauderdale. I would kill for BOTH the cake and frosting recipes of their cupcakes!!

I am making these today for about the 6th time sinceou put up the recipe. I have been on a 2 1/2 yr cupcake adventure and these are my very favorites followed closely by the chocolate stout cupcakes from another episode of Cupcake Wars. My 4 sisters (we are all 50 yr+ always request these when we have a sisters' weekend. Very sweet and easy and the results are so professional looking!

These cupcakes are delicious! I am 13 and they were very easy to make. At first I was afraid of the cinnamon to be overpowering, but it wasnt! I added 2 tablespoons of sour cream and they came outcry moist also, I baked them for 20min and they were PERFECT!
I would recommend this recipe to anyone :

I was apprehensive to make these after going through the extensive recipe and other reviews, but I'm very happy with the results. To make sure they were moist I added about 2 tbsp of sour cream to the cupcake batter. Definitely helped--very moist! I also added some different spices--ground cloves and allspice to the batter as well the frosting along with the cinnamon to cut down on the sweetness factor. Overall, a great cupcake!

These cupcakes were excellent! I used splenda brown sugar and splenda white sugar instead and they were still very good! My whole family loved them! Will def. make them again!

I read the reviews before I started ..and still pleased with the overall recipe I changed a few things. The end result was perfect. Instead of this frosting I used vanilla bean Bourbon cream cheese frosting and topped it with a sugar cookie crumble with green sprinkles.It was a huge hit!

Absolutely AWFUL. So bad, in fact, I can't believe they're on a professional website. I didn't want to make these because of the mixed reviews, but the birthday girl *insisted* and was greatly [and predictably] disappointed. Yes, as the others have said, the icing is good, but the cake is drier than sawdust. Literally. You need a beverage to wash it down because you cannot swallow it. Another reason to give it a low ranking: it takes forever to prepare. My sister and I started two cupcake recipes at the exact same time in the same kitchen. She prepared, baked AND frosted an entire different recipe's worth of cupcakes in the amount of time it took just to mix these ingredients!

Did not make them yet but wanted to comment on the room temp issue. Just put eggs in a bowl of warm water for 5 minutes or so and u have room temp eggs. I imagine you can do the same with other cold products as well.
