I made this recipe for my niece's birthday and they were hands-down the best cupcakes I've ever made: buttery, dense and cakey, almost like pound cake cupcakes. I followed the directions exactly and they came out perfect and very similar to the ones that I had at the Magnolia Bakery. Delicious! I'm going to make a cake version of them for my daughter's first birthday.
YUMMY!

I halved the recipe to make 36 mini-cupcakes baked at 350F for 11 mins. Instead of self-raising flour, I used all purpose and whisked in just under 1 tsp of baking soda and 1/8 tsp of salt. I filled the sprayed tins about 3/4 full. Result - perfectly domed mini cupcakes with a slight crisp on the outside and moist throughout. Not too dense and not too light. I piped pink cream cheese frosting topped with a raspberry. Next time, I will try adding lemon juice and lemon zest. Will definitely make again!

The cupcakes came out awesome. Better than the Old Fashioned Recipe. The trick is to alternate the wet and dry ingredients are not over mix the flour. The cupcakes were very moist.

I haven't made "from scratch" cupcakes for years. These were easy, but the results not exactly what I expected, since I didn't read the reviews. They overflowed in the pan, making them hard to get out. I persisted, though, and frosted them, although ugly. They were delicious! Next time I make this recipe, I'm going to only fill the cups 1/2 instead of 3/4.

Followed the recipe exact ! Used a scoop to properly measure into cups. They over flowed and was crisp on top. They all went in the garbage !

These were excellent great! I went against some of the other reviews that said they weren't that good. I have to say they were wrong. I followed the recipe step by step and everything went swimmingly. I only changed one thing. Instead of using all purpose, I used cake flour (1 and 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons and 3/4s of a teaspoon. I used my own frosting recipe, but overall, this was great! Moist and delicious. No crumbling or falling apart. Will definitely use this again!

Cake was delicious.However something went wrong with the frosting!I had to add more than 8 cups of sugar and it's not as expected.It's liquid and if i would add even more sugar it would be really sweet.

Very tasty...light and fluffy with a little crunch on top. I'm not sold on the frosting, but my husband loved it. Overall, I would make the cupcakes again, but use different frosting.
