    These are way rad! I told my friend Kelly we had to make some and all she wanted to do was go buy shoes but after I made a batch she was like "these cupcakes rule" and I was all "I know right" so after we ate like the whole batch Kelly brought out her new shoes and I was like "those look so cute on you" and she said she just had to get them.

    the butter needs to be room temperature correct? I made it this way and it turned out good, just checking.

    I really loved the consistency of the cupcakes but they were too sweet and I hated the frosting. I ended up using store bought frosting instead. I don't think I would make them again!

    I think i misunderstood the recipe. It said to mix in" pats" of butter just enough to coat with the flour mixture. In the end after mixing in all the rest of the ingredients i had chuncks of butter still in the batter, so i tried again and they were a little better but still small specks of butter and after baking, the cups were saturated in butter but the cake was a bit dry. Odd texture but good flavor.
    I might give them one more try and really mix in that butter.

    I have been looking for a non-cake mix cupcake recipe that delivers and this one definitely does. I made 14 large cupcakes rather than 24 regular sized and they were terrific. They were light and fluffy and tasted moist and buttery. I used a chocolate buttercream on mine. We didn't even let them cool before we dug in! Rarely do I find a recipe that delivers what it promises. Thanks Cheryl Day!

    Everyone that had one loved it!!!! The actual cupacke was fluffy and light, and the frosting was very tasty and super sweet, big hit with kids. I even made a second batch but instead of butter i used canola oil and they were not as fluffy but were still good, resembled cornbread. Overall very good recipe.

    I just made these cupcakes today and they were so delicious and moist and yummy!! I made it with self rising flour since that was all I had and I just omitted the salt and baking powder since it's in the SR flour I used and it made 24 perfectly rounded cupcakes and they were beautiful and so delish!! I halved the frosting and it was perfect and delicious on the cupcakes!! I will definitely be making these again and again!!
