Tried this recipe on 2 separate occasions and they were awful both times. Flat. Gummy. Stuck to the wrappers. I follow recipes to the letter so they are sure to turn out right, plus doing all the things recipes don't tell you (EVERYTHING room temperature) and they were the same awful cupcakes both times.

They turned out really gummy, and gluey, I'm throwing them out, they are disgusting.

This receipt is excellent, perfect for the cupcake, i gave 4 star!!!!i have doubt why people complain., if cupcake too light , it s wield and too light , and u dont feel texture. if i can reduce the suger, i prefer.

they were very rubbery and tasted like old muffins-do not recommend. maybe only 2 eggs

Terrible, made these for valentines day and horrible horrible pucks they turned out to be.

Worst cupcake recipe I've ever made. They were like hockey pucks. I made 2 batches to bring to work. I ended up throwing them out because I was embarrassed to bring them. I thought I would try it again. I did and they once again turned out like pucks. There isn't enough rising agents in the recipe. I would add 2 tsp of baking soda to this recipe so they rise. It was also far too dry. I said chip me off a piece of that batter....again to improve this recipe I would add a cup of sour cream, .5 cup of oil and a full cup-1.5 cups of buttermilk in stead of regular milk.

Crazy how one recipe can have so many different results! I believe in quality ingredients and making sure everything is room temperature. Also, creaming the butter and sugar together is very important, this process may take longer than expected, and your butter ( not margarine ) needs to be pretty soft. Make sure your eggs have sat out, cold eggs will not mix well with the butter. I did try this recipe with coconut oil ( equal amount ) and they turned out great. Mine did come out a bit dense, more like cake, but some people like them like that. I was hoping for a softer cupcake. Martha Stewart has great recipes though ! Keep baking everyone ! :-)

you guys are [filtered] stupid. it was amazing

Awsome

These are possibly the worst cupcakes I've ever made. By following the recopie to a tee, they turned out entirely too eggy and absolutely unappealing. If you're going to make this, the recipe should be altered.
