Well... The jury is still out on the loaf, which is still in the oven ( to frost and take as a long narrow cake to my nephew's party). But the cupcakes are very oily. When I removed them from the pan there was a pool of butter underneath each cupcake liner. I was suspicious when mixing them up that one cup of flour was not enough to handle one half cup butter.. I think the proportions are off. They are also super super sweet for something that's yet to be frosted... Hmm. Not my favorite recipe from Genius Kitchen. The upside is that I made the cupcakes to freeze... Maybe the extra butter will keep them super moist after freezing...

These may have tasted a little more like muffins, than cupcakes, but that was just fine by us! The recipe made 17 cupcakes for me, but I probably could have made them a little bigger. Still would have had more than a dozen, which was a bonus! We enjoyed them immensely, and will be making them again! Thanks so much for sharing a great recipe, missyqh! Made for Fall PAC 2011.
