    I followed the exact measurements, and I absolutely did not like the outcome for this recipe. It was chalky I tasted the eggs and just overall no good. I would not recommend it. On the bright side I tried Paula Deen's red velvet cupcake recipe and it was AWESOME !!!

    Cupcake is dense in texture and flavorless when following the directions as written. Would not recommend. The frosting, however, is delicious! Will keep the recipe purely for it, otherwise, I would throw it away.

    I used a mix of butter and shortening, added a tbsp of canola oil, and decreased the flour slightly. I used a stand mixer and whipped the sugar, fats, eggs and vanilla then added the milk and dry ingredients as directed in the recipe. They are fluffy and not cornbread-like at all!

    Did not make the frosting.

    I just made these cupcakes today. After reading the reviews I was afraid it was going to taste like cornbread but it didn't. I followed the cupcake recipe to a T (I used my own frosting recipe and found that the cake was moist, fluffy, and light. The cake turned out to be a very nice light cream/golden color. I would definitely recommend this cake recipe because other yellow cupcake recipes I've tried turn out too sweet. I also liked how it wasn't greasy.

    Turned out ok, not great. Frosting was too sweet and not chocolaty enough. If I spend the time, effort and ingredients on baking from scratch (not to mention the calories eating it, I want it to be Delish, and this was not.

    Gross. I have never had a food network recipe turn out gross before. DO NOT make these unless you are looking for a cupcake that tastes like corn tortilla dough. I am very disappointed in this recipe. I can't figure out how to give it zero stars or I would.

    I made these cupcakes and they came out great. Like a lot of other reviewers I tweaked the recipe a bit. For starters, I did not melt the butter that the recipe called for; instead I just used softened butter. I added two more tablespoons of sugar and I also added one and a half tablespoons of canola oil (because of the cornbread texture fear. With those changes I was really happy with the outcome. Also, the recipe says to use 1/3 c of the batter to fill the cups, this resulted in 11 extremely large cupcakes so I recommend using less batter per cup. Other than the few changes I followed the directions step-by-step. I gave this recipe 4 stars because I did have to make a few changes and the frosting is delicious, but a little too sweet. I will be giving these a try with a whip frosting instead. Happy Baking!
