to the person who gave up because her cupcakes kept falling in the middle, you might be using the wrong cocoa. I note that thsi recipe calls for much more baking soda than powder, that would mean natural cocoa would work best. dutch process cocoa doesn't react well in recipes with baking soda. good luck.

I made this recipe for my little sister's college graduation cupcakes/cake. It was a total success! I used Caramel Bailey's to make icing for them. Delicious!!!!

I have not tried this so I will give it the 4 rating it has as I leave a question. If anyone knows whether the cocoa used was natural or dutch processed, could you please post the correct one. Thanks.
