I just made these, following the recipe exactly, and they came out perfectly – fluffy and moist. I made the frosting as well, using just 2 cups of the sugar since I tend to like it a little less sweet.

I just made a half batch of these for the first time with your recipe using regular cupcake size instead of muffin size and they came out really well! It has a dense semi-sweet consistency that I really like and because the cupcake by itself it not too sweet, it should be perfect with the frosting (haven’t tried the frosting yet)

I also folded the flour and buttermilk together as someone else as suggested and I think this helped. But I would like the center to be somewhat more moist. Anyone have suggestions for how to do this? I don’t want to undercook it. There seems to be a fine line between gookiness and being overcooked. Will more butter help?

Hey!

Thanks for the recipe! I have tried several but this one captured my attention due to excellant presentation skills!

I tried your recipe and followed it down to a T!!!! but my cupcakes came out concave and although I put in the whole 2oz of food colouring it came out burgunday rather than red?? :0( is there a reason for that??? what am I doing wrong??

P.S: for those in the UK, Sainsburys and Waitrose sell buttermilk-even their small stores!
