Almost Cake Mix Vanilla Cupcakes

    This is just a regular cake. Not moist. Not super flavorful. It was dry and a box mix would have tasted much better. I gave it two chances as cupcakes and neither worked for us.

    Almost Cake Mix Vanilla Cupcakes!,For pretty pastel coloured cupcakes, add in a few drop of desired food colouring my recipe#80118 goes wonderful with these cupcakes — use 2 cups icing sugar and 1/2 cup white granulated sugar instead of processing the sugar, it works out fine this way.,This is just a regular cake. Not moist. Not super flavorful. It was dry and a box mix would have tasted much better. I gave it two chances as cupcakes and neither worked for us.,I usually don’t really care for a lot of cake recipes that I come across but this one is the best one so far. I thought it had a kind of “eggy” taste which is mostly masked when I tried it with frosting. I also might add more vanilla next time. The texture is perfect and moist. used almond milk just because that’s what I had and it still worked great. I also added a little blue food coloring to the mix since I made them for a baby shower (it’s a boy) but the batter is so yellow from the eggs that the color ended up being kind of green. Oh well. This recipe is a keeper.
