***Hey,
this one's a keeper!- would
make it again. "Sooooooo
good and easy to make too...just the right amount of sugar...Not too
sweet...The only difference is that we topped it off with cream cheese
frosting instead of the buttercream. We also filled the cupcakes full
instead of 2/3 full to get that muffin top look...."
****Restaurant
Quality!- would
make it again. "I have
made this recipe for parties numerous times and everyone ALWAYS wants
the recipe!!! My daughter doesn't like chocolate cake but this is her
request for her birthday."
