Everyone loved these! They smell and taste wonderful. I was careful folding in the egg whites, but even so, the cupcakes did not rise very high.........just even with the papers holding them. Still they were light, moist, and delicious!!! Lots of work, but very much worth it.

Fabulous cupcake! Something different but very delicious and moist! Since it makes so many cupcakes, didn't really seem to be too expensive to me. I guess if you don't like baking (too many ingredients) you could go to a bakery or use a cake mix. If there is too much fat, eat less. Or go to the Cooking Light site. Stop whining and enjoy life or let us enjoy a great cupcake if you don't want to.

I could not stop laughing when I read your post.... That just goes to show you...One person's idea of baking is gathering all the ingredients and putting them together for that end, delicious product; while another person cannot imagine doing anything more than opening a box, dumping a mix in a bowl, adding a couple of ingredients, and turning a mixer on. We are all different when we describe baking.

Ambrosia cupcakes are my "new" favorite cupcake! Takes some time to make but it is well worth it....especially if you want bragging rights for the tastiest cupcakes at the party ;)

to the person who complained about too many ingredients--apparently you have no desire to cook so get out of the kitchen. Grab a box of cake mix and pre-made frosting and go to town.

Excellent recipe! Would not change a thing about it. And, for the people constantly boring me with their ''fat and calorie" blurb. Please, please go to the many websites that offer low-calbaking and stop criticizing recipes on Taste of Home. If you look at the ingredients, and it doesn't suit your needs, move on. A review is what it means, make the recipe, give a review, don't just add up sugars. fats and calories. Stop boring everybody to tears doing that.

The cupcakes were delicious but very rich. I took them to where I work which is an independent facility and the residents loved them too. I would make them again.
