I made cupcakes from this recipe, turned out to be very nice moist rich tasting cake! I used buttermilk. This recipe made 14 nice sized cupcakes. I prepared them with Grandma's Penuche Frosting, slicing the cupcake into two parts and adding a bit more icing in the middle as well. Thanks for sharing this recipe its one I will turn to when I want to make a cake as well.
