Way way way too much salt. Like I dont think you should add any. I have to throw out the cupcakes cause they are that bad. I do think that if you dont put the salt in they would taste good though.

I didn't use all of the milk, I wanted a thicker batter. These were good. Very moist. I will be making these again.

Did not work for me at all. It was very promising until the milk. I wonder if there was too much because it seemed to thin the batter way too much. Even after having beaten the wet there were some lumps and it just looked unappealing. But I baked them none the less. (It was more like 18-20 cupcakes then 12.) They had a pretty bad taste. Not chocolatey and almost apple-y, but really just not much of any taste. They also had a really rubbery texture. Sorry, but I had to throw them all out. Would have been edible but just barely...Sorry.
