    I made these cupcakes yesterday. They look nice, my family enjoyed eating them but they are a little sticky to the cupcakes foil. Can I use this recipe with some chocolate chips?

    This was good but no WOW factor. The butter made it a bit dry. It was a little on the sweet side as well. I will just have to look for other yellow cake recipes as I only remake those recipes that I really love.

    *my review only on the cupcake itself* I made these cupcakes over the weekend for my friend's birthday. I was looking for a good yellow cupcake recipe and all other recipes were so iffy with reviews and such but I decided to try this one, even though some of these reviews were iffy as well. I have my own chocolate frosting recipe so I used that instead. These cupcakes came out amazing! Everyone loved them. I didnt have cake flour but I made my own and they came out perfect and now everyone is bugging me to make more! hahah! such a great cupcake recipe! Happy Baking!

    This recipe is freakin GREAT? I had been looking for a cupcake recipe like forever and each one I tried came out dry. This one has a nice crumb, moist, and flavorable. I added more vanilla than what the recipe called for, but it was still great. I will definitely be keeping this one around.

    I made those cupcakes today. They came out light, golden brown and fluffy. I didn't have cake flour so I made my own by taking out 2 tbsp of all purpose flour and replacing it by cornstarch. I let the butter and sugar mix for at least 10 min until pale yellow and fluffy. The recipe makes a lot of cupcakes. I did half of it and got 12 cupcakes. Don't fill the tins all the way because they will overflow. My cooking time was 23 minutes. I didn't make the frosting.

    Good cupcakes, I intend to make them again. A keeper!

    I am a self proclaimed Cake Snob.....I bake....I decorate....I enjoy. I have tried out many recipes on cakes/cupcakes and I LOVE this recipe. It is very easy and the cupcakes came out very moist and with a great flavor. I did not try out this buttercream recipe because I have one of my own that I swear by. If you are looking for a cupcake recipe.....don't go any further....this one is amazing and I am keeping this in my recipe box.

    I recently made these cupcakes, but i decided not to use the frosting recipe due to bad reviews. So, I can only speak on behalf of the cupcake recipe. It was DELICIOUS!!! I added about a 1/2 tsp. more vanilla than the recipe called for to add more flavor to the cake. Since, I did not have unsalted butter I used salted butter and only added 1/4 tsp. of extra salt which also worked great. I am not an everyday baker, so I did not have cake flour, but regular white flour works just as well! It made 29 cupcakes and I used a large muffin scoop to insert the batter into the liner so the batter would not overflow. All in all, this recipe made great cupcakes and I am definitely adding it to my recipe box!
