Really nice and moist. I substitute warm coffee for water to intensify the chocolate flavour

I have made these cupcakes many times, and they NEVER fail!!

I am not a fan of cupcake, I bake mainly for my kids and husband. This recipe is really good. I added vanilla icing on top and it awesome.

Messed with the recipe a little-- added 3/4tsp vanilla, 1 egg, and instead of 1 cup water I used (mixed skim milk and half n half together and added the vinegar to that milk to create "buttermilk"). They're pretty dang good!!!

Did the cake, for me not nice though, just the thought of missing egg but surprisingly my family kept asking for more, surely its a nice to keep recipe for those needy moments.

This recipe is also known as "Wacky Cake" and it was the first cake I made with my Mom when I was little. It is so good. Try instead of cupcakes, place all dry ingredients in a 13 x 9 pan, make a hole in the middle and put all wet ingredients in and mix and cook in same pan. Have made as cupcakes as well and they are so good that way. Mine have never come out dry and i have passed this down to my kids and my oldest just taught my granddaughters this recipe

WOW!!! These cupcakes are VERY good!! I didn't add the vinegar because it sounded weird to put in, and the cupcakes still turned out moist, chocolately, and really good. Then I made some chocolate frosting and added sprinkles and my whole family loved them!!! Thanks for sharing!!

Wow, very good loved it! My cupcakes turned out VERY well! Thanks for the recipe!

This recipe is soooo yummy!!

Very quick and super easy! Thank you I made them for my mothers birthday at the last second and they were amazing!

This is my first from scratch cupcake recipe. It was definitely moist, but not much flavor. I forgot the vanilla, as suggested in other comments, so maybe that would have helped.

LOVE these cupcakes!! Very moist and actually keep for up to a week uncovered (probably not a great idea tho) ;) also, I had a question to any experienced cupcakers out there? If I wanted to make peanut butter chocolate cupcakes could I just add however much peanut butter to this recipe? If so, how much? If not, do you have any good peanut butter chocolate cupcake recipes? ~thanks!

This is a great recipe. I substituted water with milk. The vinegar with 1 egg. Added 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and I also added an extra 1/3 cup of cocoa powder. It made about 13 standard size cupcakes. I read some of the reviews people have posted (mostly the negative ones). I have some suggestions. If you put the cupcake pan on your bottom rack they will cook faster, so check the cupcakes after 15 minutes (I used a bamboo skewer.. They were done.) although the 13th cupcake sitting alone in a cupcake on the middle rack was not done. I let the 13th cupcake baked for 5 more minutes. It was done, but the top became a little hard and the moister content was not the same as the first 12 cupcakes. Overall I like this recipe especially since it was easy to alter and substitute ingredients. They tasted great, just the right amount of cocoa without it being too overbearing. Thanks for posting this recipe. I hope this helps with others who are having problems with the outcome of there cupcakes.

Hey, these are great, but I do add one egg, which makes extra fluffy and moist! You can even leave them uncovered on the counter for days and their still moist. Trust me, great recipe!

Any one ever added chocolate chips into the mix? I was wondering how that might turn out....

I made this recipe, then made it as a cake and it still turned out great!! I didn't add in the vinegar, I put in chocolate chips and YUM! So good, thanks for sharing!

I didn't want to make cupcakes so I tweaked the recipe a bit by making the cupcake part, but adding chocolate chips to make chocolate chocolate chip muffins! They were delicious and I will keep using this recipe!
