Didn't get the chance to taste these but my friends LOVED them!! Brought them for Thanksgiving at a good friend's house! Used low-fat milk and cut down the sugar to 1 1/4 cup because I iced these with Marg's Buttercream Icing (Buttercream Frosting)! Thanks Anme!

    These are very good and simple to make although it was difficult to cream such a small amount of butter into that much sugar, I added the eggs during that process and they turned out fine. I used our jumbo muffin tin and got 5 out of them (I could have gotten 4 larger ones). They baked for a total of 25 minutes. They are very light and airy so I dusted them with powdered sugar for a wonderful presentation. ~Buddha

    Yummy! Little Miss (DD) helped me make this for afternoon tea today for our visitors and it was so 'simple'. I halved the recipe and it made eight large muffins. I like the fact the fat contain was not very high so one of our visitors who was watching her diet was able to eat one. Thank you Anme

    Followed the directions exactly, i was starting to question the amount of butter that went in, it wouldnt really cream with the sugar, so i just added the eggs and vanilla and then it all blended nicely. I filled mine to the papers rim because i like domed cupcakes - because of this i only got 14 cupcakes but that was more then enough for us anyways. I used a creamcheese/peanut butter frosting and they taste great. I had wanted to add in oreos in the frosting and cupcakes, but someone ate them lol but this really is a great basic cupcake recipe
