I tried this recipe exactly as written. My cupcakes were overcooked. I did it again reducing time to 25 min as other reviews suggested and my cupcakes were very sticky, meaning undercooked. I did it again cooked them for 35 min. They came out perfect. My family loves them. Makes 6 large muffins.

Nice little recipe. I made no changes, except the baking time was about 15-20 minutes less. Thanks to all the other reviewers who mentioned this. The cakes turned out great! More muffin like than cupcake in flavor and appearance. Some did rise with a small dome, others were flat. The cakes are very moist, just sweet enough, with a slight spicy flavor (from the cinnamon) - which I think contributes to the muffin-like characteristic. I topped them with a penuche frosting, drizzled with caramel.

This was a little tasteless for us and similar to carrot cake. I didn't ice them.

And for anyone looking for nutritional information for any recipe - there are dozens of websites that will do this for you, which is even better because you can modify ingredients and see how it affects the overall nutritional profile. Just google "recipe nutrition calculator" and you're on your way!

Great recipe! But I too only baked them at 350 for about 25 minutes. Just watch the time and you won't be disappointed.

I am so glad I was paying attention while these were in the oven! They were done at 25 minutes, not the 40-45 as stated in the recipe!!

I followed this recipe exactly and they turned out fabulous! Everyone loved them! I will definitely make these again.

Made recipe almost as described for the first trial. My mother loved these. I was surprised at how little the cupcakes raised in the liners, but had a light fluffy texture. I decreased the sugar by 25%, because we like less sweet, and added raisins instead of nuts due to allergies. Did not get to ice them, family found them too fast. These are definitely "a do-over" as my family says. In fact, my mother stole my printed recipe, and I had to come back to get it again. Hope you enjoy them.

Great recipe with some changes reduced the amount of brown sugar and used raw cane sugar. I also used Gluten Free flour and grape seed oil and they were light and fluffy and the entire clan at my house LOVED them and so did my little sister and mom

being a diabetic as i am sure there are many many more out there i choose not to make recipes that do not have a nutritional content listed. is there a reason you do not list the nutritional content on your recipies. also that is one of the reasons that i canceled my subscription to martha stewarts living magazine, i am too tempted by the recipies but cannot make any of them.
