Simple White Cupcakes

CandyTX's Note:

This is great to make with the kids because it's so EASY. It's not the "best" cake in the world, but it's easy and no fuss. I usually gently fold in some sprinkles so that it's "confetti" cake and the kids think it's great fun!

I thought this was a good, easy cupcake recipe. Just what I was looking for! My 4 year old son helped me and when they cooled we frosted them w/ vanilla buttercream frosting. I wish I had read the part about putting sprinkles in for him....he would have liked that! Next time!

The flavor was good with these cupcakes. They had a slight crunchy crust on them. They were a bit dense compared to other cakes, but I like a dense cake, so I didn't mind.

These were very easy to make! There was a kind of eggy taste to them that no one else seemed to notice, but icing covered it up perfectly. I had to add more milk because the batter was too thick. I made a batch with sprinkles and one with chocolate chips, they were very good.
