This is a great cupcake, nice and sweet. To make it healthier cut down to 2 tblsp margarine and 3/4 cup sugar. As long as you follow the directions of mixing properly this comes out fantastic. These don't last a day in our house! Thanks for sharing, now I know what to do with all the fruit from my nectarine tree!

Mine didn't rise at all, the flat tops were pitted with bubbles, and they were dense and moist to the point of being ... rubbery. They were interesting, but not cupcake-like.

I doubled this recipe and had good luck - but it makes more than it says. The doubled recipe made 40 cupcakes. Very yummy! The recipe doesn't give the oven temp, but I used 350 for 27 minutes.
