I used fat free butter and 2% milk. Will this change the taste or outcome of my cupcakes? I try to find a healthy alternative for fattening foods. I am afraid they will not be as good!!

Good recipe. It was my first time baking so I loved how easy it was to follow. My family loved the way they tasted too. I topped them with chocolate frosting. Sooo good. Only thing I didn't like was how they sunk in a bit. I made another batch and added baking soda and that helped.

I enjoyed this recipe, but the comments were right, it needed a bit more sugar. I still liked the cupcakes all together though.

this recipe is good and easy! Just make sure you follow the order when adding and mixing the ingredients. Pour the milk only after you stir the butter mixture to the dry ingredient, otherwise you will get a dense and lumpy cupcake.

Did not turn out like store bought cupcakes. Maybe I should have taken it out from the oven before the 18 min time.

GREAT - these were east to make and tasted great. I used 1 cup of sugar and I thought they were sweet enough. I baked them for 18 minutes and they were just right. I recommend this to anyone who is looking for a quick and easy vanilla cupcake recipe!!

Delicious when they first came out of the oven. Don't refrigerate well though

I did a project with this recipe and we tried it with baking powder and baking soda and the baking soda works best because its sweeter, fluffier, and it browns on the top and adds a nice little crunch. They both tasted great, and they both work. Thought you might want to know.

This recipe was extremely good! My friend and I made it for New Year's Eve desert and are very happy. It was super easy to prepare (even though some directions are vague.) We added lemon juice to give it a lemon flavor. It's not done yet so we don't if this was a good idea or not. You might want to add a little less sugar however if you do the lemon juice :-D
