This a fast and very delicious cupcake all the kids would love it - we did add just under 3/4 cup of milk -
These cupcakes are delicious, however, recipe needs revision. cupcakes were not as moist as they should be. most cupcakes recipes call for 1/2 cup of milk or some sort of liquid, this one is missing the liquid ingredient!!! I added 1/3 cup of milk as advised by others and still they weren't moist enough. I will make some additions and will post results. -
Very delicious and unusual cupcake! I wanted to use the entire Nutella jar up so I decided to frost these after baking. Because that would have hidden the swirl on top, I got past that by putting the Nutella in a pastry bag and piped a good bit of it onto 1/2 the batter in each well, and then covered it with remaining batter. This worked out excellently; it was like a Nutella-filled cupcake with Nutella frosting. Just delicious with milk or a steaming cup of coffee. -
Really good with a couple of changes. I used eggbeaters and half grated apple (raw applesauce)/half butter to lower calories and because that was what I had. I also added 1/3 cup milk like others did. The nutella really made a difference and with the changes, the cupcakes were soft (if a little denser because of the applesauce) with a crispy top. Nest time though, I would probably mix the nutella in with the entire batch instead of the the top of the cupcakes, so more nutella would be in the cupcakes and it is faster. For personal preference, I would also add more vanilla and maybe some chocolate chips or nuts.

This recipe is really great. I am new to baking and the recipe was easy to follow. The cupcakes turned out really yummy. My husband and kids are begging me to make it again. My Mom came over when I made these, and she's raving about it to my sisters. I put in 15 tablespoons of butter and 1/3 cup milk though. The rest I followed the recipe exactly.

I became a foodie when I went on my first ever diet. (:
I can't cook very well, because I'm always too afraid of hot oil burning me, but I love baking!
Hence you'd notice that all my recipes (and all the recipes I've saved into my cookbook) involve baking.
I hope to be able to make fantastic baked rice someday, and am always on the lookout for HEALTHY LOW-CALORIE recipes! (:
Oh, and if you know of any low-calorie indian recipes (I love Indian food, but it seems like they're all very oily and unhealthy..) do share them with me!
