Wow! These are the easiest cupcakes and they come out so moist. I was seriously impressed. Tried this recipe in metric because I finally bought a kitchen scale! I might be a convert. Really liking small batch recipes. I can only eat baked goods for about 2 days and they start to go stale after a while anyway. No one wants food waste! I had leftover cream cheese frosting and they turned out delicious but you could also pair with a classic or flavored buttercream.
