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

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!

Review my Recipe 2008 ~ You can never go wrong with a chocolate cupcake! I halved the recipe as I didn't need that many cupcakes. However, I only got 6 even with filling only 2/3 full. I also had to bake for 20 minutes.Thanks Anme!

These are very good. I did only get 12. I guess my muffin tins are big! I may have overfilled a bit as some of them fell a bit but they tasted fine. I didn't ice them but next time I will. A little bit of Cool Whip on top tasted good. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

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

These taste wonderful but we had a bit of a problem with them. I'm sure it was user error but thought I should mention it. Our cupcakes sank in the middle which made it pretty much impossible to frost. I've never had that happen to cupcakes before so I'm not sure what happened. It didn't stop the kids from eating them so I'll give them a four star for taste!

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 Butter Cream Icing (Buttercream Frosting)! Thanks Anme!
