This recipe is actually quite perfect. I made mini muffins and used the recipe exactly as written. I think I might use half the salt next time but that's just a personal preference. This is the easiest cupcake/cake recipe I've ever made and my kids LOVED them. I iced them with homemade buttercream frosting and let them go crazy with the sprinkles etc for decorating. Totally delicious... even without icing. YUM.

These were Perfect! I am nine years old, and this was an easy recipe to follow with out any help from my mom. I made buttercream frosting to top these. The cupcake is not super sweet. My mom and dad think they never tasted a cupcake so good. Thank you.

I made these cupcakes for valentines day and I made an almond frosting. They were so good, my boyfriend couldn't stop eating them.

I've been looking for literally YEARS for the perfect vanilla cupcake recipe, and this is it. The flavor is outstanding. However, I did make a few alternations... I kept the recipe the same, but I added 1/8 tsp. almond extract as well as slightly less than 2 tbsp. honey to the wet ingredients. Also, I used 1 cup of white sugar as well as 1/8 cup brown sugar for the sugars. I added about 1 or 2 tsp. cinnamon to the dry ingredients as well. The cupcakes came out AMAZING!!! They were pretty sweet, but not so sweet that I couldn't eat them. They were flawless, in my opinion. They didn't even need frosting!

I would absolutely recommend this recipe to people who like traditionally sweet cupcakes. They're phenomenal. This recipe is saved in my recipe book for life!

Note: I used muffin/cupcake papers. In my opinion, these are essential. They're really cheap, and sold at any grocery store! Also, when I made them, I filled up the papers about 1/2 full. I would recommend not filling them any higher than 2/3 full. Good luck, everyone!

SOOO good! I made them as is and we LOVED them!!!

they were horrible and im never cooking them again!!!!!!!!!

Best cupcake I have ever eaten!

Is it ok to mix all the ingredients together in one bowl, or would that ruin the recipe?

This recipe came out great! Just wondering, could I substitute the vanilla extract for instant coffee? Thanks

I made this recipe one night without vanilla. I added banana and oatmeal...my family swear down its the best cupcakes that they have ever eaten, I was blown away at their reactions. They gobbled them all up within minutes and demanded I made more :P

Tried the 6 cupcake recipe and it was excellent!!! Thank you thank you sooo much!!

Mine were delicious but came out quite dense. I did use soy milk, but have never had any trouble with that before.

Great recipe! I substituted whole wheat pastry flour for white flour, used 1/2 cup sugar and 1/8 cup agave instead of all the sugar, and added lemon zest. They were still very moist and sweet. The wheat flour makes the cupcakes denser but they're still good.

I doubled the recipe and added 1/2 freshly grated coconut, 2 tbsp. rum flavor and an extra tsp vanilla to make some heavenly Vanilla Coconut Rum cupcakes. My hubby and son ate 1/2 a dozen before I could finish decorating the other dozen for a client! Perfect texture, very moist and not too sweet so it paired perfectly with a simple vanilla rum buttercream topping.

This recipe was amazing! :) just like my mom used to make! They came out perfectly.
