The cupcakes came out very moist with wonderful flavor. I have a gas oven so I only had to cook for 19 minutes. I will definately make these again.

I did use vanilla sugar (Dr. Oether's original vanilla sugar) and topped mine with a handful of fruit loops before baking. When cool I sprinkled with confectioners' sugar and the kids went wild. Made for Prop It Up, a tag game.

These were pretty good. Made them with both vanilla and vanilla sugar. I think I over cooked them though because they were a little dry. Kids gobbled them up. Thanks

These are wonderful. I started out to make it exactly as the recipe stated. Then found our milk was soured and I had no vanilla. So had to sub evaporated milk and water and used almond extract instead of vanilla. They still turned out very good. I will make again w/ vanilla very soon.

Very nice! I am currently baking these and just taste tested the first batch - YUM! What really impressed me was that the batter was so silky. On a practical note. It has made more than 24 for me, not sure how much more just yet, I am guessing I will probably get another 6 out of the recipe. Also I set my oven to 325 and baked 17 mins, but I suspect my oven is off.

These are wonderful cupcakes! They are very tasty and I did use vanilla sugar, which I had on hand. They smelled wonderful baking too. I frosted mine with a rich chocolate frosting. Next time I will try a vanilla one. I will be making these again soon!

I loved it! It's very vanilla indeed. Just a note: if you accidently put in baking soda instead of baking powder like I did, cupcakes may explode...but the vanilla flavor still comes through. I'll make it again for sure and be positive I use baking powder! I split the recipe in half with no problems and frosted these with a yummy strawberries and cream frosting from SophistiMom's website. It was a B-day present for my awesome friend

Great cupcakes, was a hit with everyone. A must bake, great recipe, does not dry as quickly as the other cupcakes (however, the cakes went to quickly to dry!!!) A great treat for friends and family!!!

The batter tasted better than the finished product. My children described them as "cornbread with sugar" I am not sure why they had a course texture? I followed the recipe.
