I made the vanilla cupcakes and read the step 2 completely wrong ♂️ I mixed the superfine sugar with the eggs instead of the softened butter. When I realised I only has the butter and flour left I, I quickly added the butter mixed it thoroughly and then the flour. To my surprise it came out perfect Thank you it tastes heavenly and I’m glad I did add a frosting otherwise it would’ve been too sweet ❤️
It was good
When I was making these, the batter slowly started to look like cookie dough. So I would name them cookie cupcakes.
I think 1 1/2 cups of flower is too much, which makes it hard and dry.
i was able to make more than 12 cupcakes
loved it! great recipe! keep it up!
Making the cupcake was super easy. And the cupcake? Well, it was super tasty and I loved it!
Easy to make. Tastes absolutely delicious. Thank you.
VERY VERY YUMMY CUPCAKES
SO GOOD
I messed up on the butter didn’t but enough but stiff these are delicious!! Not to sweet definitely will make a again
All I have to say is that I have baked for a long time, so I have the experience not to over stir and all that stuff. This cupcake recipe leaves you with a hard type cake texture that is more like a cookie than anything else. Very interesting!
Followed the recipe perfectly and mine turned out dense and dry. Not something I’ll make again
My cupcakes came out hard as a brick I almost chipped a tooth ! But the flavor was pretty good
This is an amazing rescue and I added honey, cinnamon and sprinkles. It got really thick so I added a little bit of water! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
These were soo light and fluffy WITH MODIFICATIONS. This is going to be my go-to cupcake recipe, and is also the perfect base for other add ons Modifications: – 1 cup superfine sugar (1 cup instead of 3/4, I also pulsed regular sugar in a Nutri bullet a couple of times, since I did not have “superfine” sugar) – 2 eggs instead of 3 – 2 teaspoon vanilla extract instead of 1 – 1/2 cup of almond milk, or any milk. – I just mixed the ingredients with a spatula, you don’t need to spend time overworking the batter with an electric mixer
I loved it!!
delicious! everyone in my family now loves them, and they are my dads new favorite!
I changed it a little. I didn’t have self rising flour so I replaced it with 1.5 cup of plain flour with 2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1 teaspoon of salt. I only added two eggs and 3/4 cup of milk. Came out perfect! Soft and fluffy.
OMG. BEST. CUPCAKES. EVER. These are very very good. I LOVE THEM !!!! I made my own buttercream icing to go on it that made it so much better then it already was. Its my mom’s birthday today so I decided to make her cupcakes. I found this recipe and Oh My God these were sooooo good!!!!!
When I made this I followed the recipe exactly but making a smaller portion when they came out of the oven they tasted fine but were small and dense
