I loved them! I used vanilla almond milk in place of the milk (I have a slight milk allergy) and they turned out great.... Tons of vanilla flavor!

Oh, my gosh! This recipe doesn't get any better. Totally shocked me. Whip, whip, whip the butter! I warmed the cold eggs in warm water before mixing. Then, I added a little butter flavoring. Thanks so very much!

Me and my dad were making cupcakes and forgot the cupcake wrappers and icing! So we went to the store and bought these pink and green flower wrappers and pink frosting. I'm ten years old and these were fun and easy to make. I gave you five stars because the cupcakes were incredibly delicious! My family loved them! THANK YOU!

 Leann (Pennsylvania) says:
I would not use this recipe again. The cupcakes are very heavy and are more like cornbread than a cupcake. They tasted fine with a really sweet frosting, but they weren't very dessert-like.

Added alot of vanilla (vanilla bean), a box of instant vanilla pudding and a tad more milk. Infused with strawberry filling and used Paula Deens sour cream icing recipe and they were great.
