These cupcakes were great. We followed the recipe exactly, and didn't have any problems. We were able to make 16 nice sized cupcakes...which gave us some leftovers that got put into the freezer. They are keeping well (though 1/2 of those have already been eaten)! Wonderful way to make cupcakes from scratch! Thanks for the recipe!

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

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
