I'm going to try to make this recipe tomorrow! Let's hope it turns out really good! From these comments I think they are going to be spectacular!!

Fantastic! I've tried to make cupcakes before, failed, and didn't know whether I'd just gotten a bad bunch of recipes or if I was an incompetent baker. In either case, this recipe is foolproof! The cupcakes turned out to be absolutely delicious, and the sweetness was perfect for either eating plain or with a little frosting. I used 1 cup of white sugar, and measured the flour by weight instead of volume. It turned out moist and delicious and wonderfully vanilla-y.

I love this recipe, it is so good that I need to make it every month!

I made these cupcakes and they were so easy and delicious. I'm only 11 and they tasted awesome. I recommend cream cheese icing.

To make them healthier you can substitute half butter with Greek yogurt nonfat or full fat.

This recipe was really good. The only problem I had was that the cupcakes weren't very moist. Also it took them almost 2 hours to chill. I am probably the first one to have this problem. That problem could probably be fixed by limiting the time in the oven to no longer than 18 minutes. Also you can use mint, almond, or lemon extract. Other than those two problems I really enjoyed this recipe.

I have been baking for over 50 years and this is without a doubt the most versatile scratch recipe that I have found. I use it to make 1 9" round cake and can't keep it in the house it goes so fast!!! I have added cocoa to this and made a chocolate cake. Yesterday I had strawberries cut up and I threw them in it is SO GOOD! Next bananas...let you know!

Hi, I just found this while searching for cupcake recipe and I'm glad I just halted by here. Cupcakes came just perfect, enjoyed them so much, thx for the recipe :)

Haven't tried the cupcakes, but I love your name.

I have tried MANY vanilla cupcake recipes and this is by FAR my favorite!! It's easy, it's so delicious and as long as you cream the butter and sugar together long enough it makes for a VERY fluffy cake! I LOVE IT!! It's the only one I use.

Hi, I love this recipe!! I tried it without vanilla and put peppermint extract and they were really good! THANK YOU I LOVE YOUR SITE!! Bye now. ;)

Great recipe. I made a cream cheese frosting to go on top. Tasted wonderful!

I am doing this recipe for a french project and it sounds splendid to do it. Everybody is going to love it!!

Good cupcakes! I love baking! I wanted an easy recipe that I could dress up, and I found this! Nice easy recipe! Thanks Cooks.com! :)

Great recipe, super moist cupcakes. I like to add 2-3 times the vanilla listed for more intense flavor but I do that with most cakes/cookies.
