    Excellent cupcake! The cake was great - moist and wonderful chocolate flavor. The frosting was light & fluffy. I brought them to a New Year's Eve dance and several people said they were the best dessert on the table! Yeah!

    Awesome cupcakes! Everyone loves them! Sometimes I even just make frosting and add to chocolate mix cupcakes.

    Everyone absolutely adores these cupcakes and they disappear as quickly as I can ice them...

    I didn't use the cake recipe but I did use the icing one. I loved the taste of the icing but it was a bit on the runny side. I wanted it to be fluffy but it was still a huge success even though it didn't look pretty. It's just a bit of a bummer when you spend the time to make something from scratch and it looks sad and runny.

    My review is for the icing only.
    I used the icing on a boxed chocolate cake. It was awesome! Light and fluffy. I used Peter Pan Honey Roasted creamy peanut butter. Oh, and accidentally put in 3/4Tbs. vanilla instead of the 3/4Tsp. Just read it incorrectly. It was still delicious! And oh so easy to make.
    And I'm not even a huge peanut butter fan. I made it for some chocolate & peanut butter lovers. One person said it was the best cake he ever put in his mouth!

    I made these for a gathering, and they were delicious! Not dry at all, and the frosting was light and not too sweet. I used 1/2 light brown sugar and 1/2 dark brown sugar because I did not have enough of the light. I also used chunky peanut butter (Skippy for the frosting instead of creamy. Ina's recipes never disappoint!

    These cupcakes were not very moist. I even added a little extra sour cream and only baked them 18 minutes. The icing is very sweet and peanut buttery. I am sure it is good if you like that type of frosting, but my family are not huge peanut butter fans so I won't be making these again.

    Followed recipe exactly. Baked for only 20 minutes as to not over cook them. As a cupcake by itself it is dry and lacks salt. I used Ghirardelli Natural Cocoa, perhaps I should have used Dutch processed. Hoping the chocolate frosting I am making will merry the two and make a great cupcake.
