This is such a great recipe!! I though just in case you wanted a 'lil fun inside, you could add some fun sprinkles!!

Easy to make. I made these for St. Paddy's day so they were green! I dyed my sugar green which caused the whole thing to come out almost tye dyed. Can't wait for the kids to see them! little chocolate shamrocks too!

These are FAST, SIMPLE to make and PERFECT. I followed it precisely using 3/4 cup sugar (not 1 cup). I divided the batter in half and flavored one vanilla and the other lemon (including some fresh lemon zest). I like that they aren't very sweet because frosting is sickeningly sweet, so when they're frosted, they are perfectly balanced. Also, I feel like these are more of a sophisticated cupcake; they're dense instead of the typical store-bought squishy uber moist cupcake that could give you diabetes with 1 bite. Finally, I always prefer a recipe that uses butter over vegetable oil. The flavor and texture are far superior in my book. This will be my "Go-To" cupcake recipe from now on.

This recipe is perfect, I've used it countless times. A go-to for crying kids!!

Soon after baking, the cupcake was nice and moist. A few hours later though, compared to a chocolate cupcake I made the day before, it was not as moist. Having said that, I will still use this basic and simple vanilla cupcake recipe.

I love baking from scratch and this recipe was so easy to do that with!!

Very easy and very yummy! My only comment is that this tastes more like a pound cake to me. Very dense and delicious cake, but not springy and airy as a cupcake.

I love it! I made it for my friends and they said it was amazing. Thank you. It was a birthday cake. Now they ask me to make it every day. Thank you but is it kind of hard when it comes out so I tried to take it out later and it worked.

The flavor was really good but mine came out still doughy and I cooked them for the right time. I don't know why.

OMG! This recipe is amazing, you should really try it. Super yummy!!

I just made these using the exact recipe and they came out really good. I expected them to be a little dry but they weren't at all. The only thing is I think I will cut the vanilla I half next time. It was too much for my taste.

The recipe was quick and easy and the cupcakes came out very good, a little dense but good. Next time I will add more sugar and maybe yogurt or sour cream to make them more moist.. or may substitute buttermilk for the milk. But other than that, perfect, everyone loved them!

This recipe was simple enough for my granddaughters and me to make and they turned out delicious! Nice moist texture and not too sweet.

I tried this months ago and have made them, well... I can't even remember the number of times. These are easy to make with on hand ingredients, moist and delicious. This is the best recipe I've tried for vanilla cupcakes ever.

I agree that you need a full cup of sugar. The cupcakes seem to be heavier than usual.
