I have not baked in several years, and this recipe was so easy and tasty, it brought back my love of baking again. Made cupcakes with frosting for daughter's chemistry class ...and they were a hit!

I only made the cupcake part of it & mine turned out GREAT!! to not get hem to rise up & bake together,, but i used a ice-cream scooper to get the exact size i wanted!! They are moist and delicious and will definitely use this recipe again!! so if you follow the exact instructions you should be fine!! :

I am a professional baker I was trying out a few new recipes. This vanilla cupcake was bland and had a cornbread flavor. I tried it twice, the second time with 1 tablespoon vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon almond extract and was still very disappointed. Be very careful not to over-fill the cup liners or the cupcakes will spread and stick to the pan, causing problems. I did find, however, that this base is perfect for a chocolate chip cupcake. Use the same recipe (I preferred my adjustments and fold in chocolate chips before filling your liners. This variation turned out very well.

I wish I would have read the reveiws first. I made these cupcake for my daughter's 5th birthday party and the girls took about two bites a piece and were done. I personally thought the recipe was just so-so. They were not the big hit I had hoped they would be. :(

I wasn't able to use a mixer like it said. I just used a fork and spatula to whip everything up. Not sure what I did wrong but it was more like corn bread. I had to make my own rising flour as well. Maybe I added to much baking powder. Taste was ok but I didn't like the texture that it created on the outer sides. Too crunchy and crumbily. I'll have to try it in a mixer next time.

I thought this recipe was just "ok." The end product was moist and tasted just like what you would think 'V-A-N-I-L-L-A". I am not a huge fan of this plain flavor but that's just me. The people I made this recipe for requested that flavor specifically and they liked it very much. The recipe was not difficult at all and as I said, if "vanilla" (to me screams boring is your favorite, you will be pleased with the end result, no doubt.

After reading several reviews, I was nervous about making these cupcakes, though I am a rather experienced baker. I wasn't able to find self-rising flour, but using an online recipe, I whipped some together. I followed the recipe exactly, with 1 exception: I didn't have cow's milk on hand, so I subbed vanilla almond milk. My substitution didn't seem to matter - the result is delicious! My cupcakes didn't fall, and cooked evenly. They are sweet, but I enjoy Magnolia's cupcakes and I enjoy these too! (I wound up using a difference icing recipe, as I am rather partial to cream cheese based frostings. I can't figure out why so many people were troubled by this recipe.

These tasted delicious, but that's about it. I followed the directions exactly, using exact ingredients, but they were a flop. They rose up over the edges of the pan, baked together, and then when I let them cool they sank. They were a total mess. I had to dig them out of the pan. The frosting tastes good as well, but is pretty thin...I even used the max amount of sugar in the recipe. Not making these again.
