I just made this tonight, they were wonderful! However, the name is somewhat misleading... it comes out more like a lava cake cupcake.

I just made these tonight with my daughter and they were fantastic! We only used the cupcake portion of the recipe (no topping), added mini-chocolate chips and 1 cup of milk to the batter. Baked at 375°F for 19 min in silicon mini-cupcake pans with liners, they were so moist and came out perfectly! Thank you :)

I made this recipe with my little sister and found the batter was lumpy and required a few splashes of milk to make it pour into the tin

Hi Cassandra,

I hope your muffins came out well! When mixing a muffin recipe, it's OK to have the batter be lumpy. If you mix out all the lumpiness in the batter, the muffins are likely to be tough and dry, so you mixed them correctly! When baking, recipes often need to be adjusted for consistency by adding a little more liquid or a little more flour due to the variations in flours, flour storage and harvest conditions, etc.

Happy Baking!

Hello, your recipe was good, but I believe that the name is a minimally minor-major misnomer. I made these so-called "cupcakes" and they were most definitely indubitably indeed cookies. I did add chocolate chips to the batter, but still, just cookies. Nice, thick, liquidy cookies, but, still, yes, just cookies. Yum.

This really is just a chocolate chip cookie cupcake. It tastes just like a cookie. I was hoping for a fluffy cake and it came out as a cookie. As soon as I got done with the batter i could tell it wasn't going to be a cake.

This was a very delicious recipe!!I switched up the recipe a bit while mixing... What I did to make it a little more "cake like" and very moist I added semi-sweet chocolate chips in the batter for starters to make it truly a chocolate chip cupcake. I also added 1/2 cup of oil and 1/2 cup of milk. As far as the topping, I omitted the egg and replaced that with a stick of butter, 1 cup of confectioner's sugar and left everything else the same. Turned out very delicious and the cake was lava like with the morsels melted! DELICIOUS

They turn out more like cookies so for a family member's birthday I double the recipe and turn it into a cookie cake, it is wonderful as a homemade cookie cake. Everyone loves it.

This is a great recipe but I found that it only makes about 12 cupcakes, not 16.

It looks very delicious. I wish it looked more like a cupcake though so if you want a good dessert you have just found it.
