Light and delicious taste. I made these for a family event and they received rave reviews. I topped them with vanilla frosting.

These were very dry. They weren't worth the amount of work you have to put into them. It took me about an hour just to mix all the ingredients and follow all instructions. I paired them with a simple butter cream. Overall just very dry i wouldn't recommend the recipe.

I made a batch of these vanilla cupcakes and topped them with chocolate ganache and I can tell you every one in the house thought they were real good. The cream cheese frosting recommended with them did not seem too appealing, that's why I opted for the ganache and I can tell you it gives excellent contrast to the taste buds. Oh, and they looked beautiful and decadent as if they were bought from a bakery. I will keep this sweet recipe.

I've made these cupcakes many times. My neighbor Louise wanted Lemon Cupcakes so I used this recipe and added fresh lemon juice and lemon zest. Worked beautifully with the frosting. Always a crowd pleaser.

(1 The baking time is too long. I have a convection oven and they were done in 20 min.
(2 The cakes suffer from lack of flavor. A similar recipe I found in cook's Baking Illustrated called for sour cream, which I think would have helped with some tanginess.
(3 The lack of flavor coupled with a pretty plain frosting did not help. A chocolate frosting would have suited better. I love cream cheese frosting but this was just plain/very sweet on top of plain/medium sweet.
(4 The frosting was too soft. I think the heavy cream is not even necessary and did not add any flavor.
(5 This cake has 3 lifteners: butter/sugar , baking powder, and the egg whites. I do not think it's necessary because the batter is very thick, and folding in egg whites inevitably deflates a lot of the whipped whites, even when you mix it in 3 portions and "lighten" the batter with the first portion of the egg whites. Usually a thinner batter is more suited for this kind of method.

Wonderful taste and lightness. I added x-tra vanilla and almond emulsion. Also, the cupcakes were baked at 350 degrees for 18 minutes...perfect. Add other flavors like lemon, and a raspberry or lemon filling.

Great Vanilla batter recipe. Light, fluffy... if you want a great plain cupcake, this is the one! I used cream cheese frosting and added a strawberry to the top of each and it gave it just a little extra umph.

So light and fluffy! Almost like angel food. Not too sweet, just the way I like them. The cake is not super yellow; more creamy in color. Mine only took 20 min to bake, but I'm pretty sure my oven is hotter than most.
