Delicious and easy to prepare. I put an Oreo cookie before putting the batter in sometimes. I also use a custard-butter frosting sometimes too. I tweaked it by adding half tsp of baking soda and one tsp of baking powder instead of 2 tsps of baking powder. I added 1 tsp of vegetable oil with the butter and the sugar. It helps with the fluffiness. :-)

I was looking for an easy cupcake recipe to bake with my daughters. They came out perfect!!!! The girls enjoyed making and eating them. My husband loves them. This will be my go to recipe for school birthdays and when having guests :). Instead of 3/4 cup sugar I used one cup and added an extra spoon of vanilla extract as I saw a couple of reviews saying the cupcakes were bland. I baked them for 18 minutes and were still moist!!!. Yum!!!
