Yeah I agree 1 1/2 cups of oil is way too much for baking cupcakes. That's just overdoing it. I mean what does a cupcake taste like if there is too much oil. Also, I think there is a little too much butter in the frosting. I think that if I make these cupcakes I'm going to shorten the oil measurement to 1 cup and the butter to 1 1/4 stick. I got to try it, thanks for the reviews.

Err, no. I'm just going to go with no. 1.5 cups of oil is way too much. Way, way too much. There was oil on the bottoms of cupcake pans when they came out. Also, they didn't rise correctly. Beyond too much oil, the flavor was really bland. I suggest using less oil and more cocoa powder.

These are TERRIBLE. I wish I would have read the reviews before I spent the couple hours making them. They taste like CORNBREAD. WAAAAAY too much oil. Unless you have the baking skills to adjust this recipe to suit your tastes, don't make this recipe. Frosting was okay, but had too much butter. I'd say 1 1/2 sticks butter. Man, what a waste of ingredients.

I thought that 1 1/2 cups of oil would be way too much so I just did 1 cup. I also just did 2 teaspoons of cocoa powder. I did 17 minutes, and the cupcakes turned out awesome!!!

Too much oil and 22 min was too long. Add more cocoa and 18 bake time. The frosting is the best! Very creamy!!

This is a very good recipe for red velvet. The consistency of the cake is great with good flavor. However, the oil content is too high and should be reduced by 1/4 cup and when making the cream cheese icing reduce the confectioners sugar by 1 cup and all will be good. Overall the recipe is good.

These cupcakes are awful. I was skeptical because the recipe required do much oil. That's all I taste. They are the worst red velvet cupcakes ever. I would have done better with the box cake mix.
