Vanilla Cupcakes with Chocolate Frosting

More like a huge muffin

Made these yesterday, and they baked up beautifully, nice, high, domed tops, however, they seem way too large for a cupcake. The texture was good... for a muffin, not at all cake-like. The frosting as made was not good, until I whipped in 3 tablespoons of butter. Thad addition made the frosting one of the best I've ever tasted, like milk chocolate frosting.

Pros: Very filling

kids love it

Great recipe! Me and my kids did this for snack and my kids asked for us to make some more! We used to have the Banana Fritters we found on GourmetRecipe.com but it's nice to try new things. I often check it out for recipes and cooking information including this website, KraftRecipes.com, LearnAboutPizza.com, AboutPeas.com, Gourmandia.ca for different moods and occasions. Thanks for this appetizing recipe!

Pros: tasty, smooth, easy to make, taste is easily adjustable, and, of course, loved by my kids

I made these cupcakes for my husband to take in to work and the cake tasted more like muffin rather than cake. The frosting did not turn out as it looks in the picture...it turned out as more of a glaze. Overall, these were OK but not really worth a second try.
