I was so very disappointed with this cupcake. Baking it just not my favorite type of cooking and I was excited about an "easy thing" to have to fix. Well, I didn't want an easy thing that would be boring. We didn't even eat them all. I do not want to hurt anyone's feelings here but this is a lot of ingredients to use as well as a lot of time to have the end product be what I came up with.

We're sorry there was disappointment with this recipe. It was originally published in Light & Tasty magazine (now called Healthy Cooking) for a diabetic feature. Hopefully diabetics find this to be a nice treat, but for others it shouldn't be compared to regular cupcakes with more fat and sugar.Taste of Home Test Kitchen

Ho hum, Why is this cupcake of the week, I want to know. I did make substitutions, I split the recipe in half and used regular sugar and buttermilk instead of milk. They are not bad and the texture is ok, but this recipe is nothing special. I ratcheted them up by making a ganache frosting.

I would NOT make these again--EVER!! The ending product was just wrong on so many levels! . . . and yes, I used all of the ingredients listed in the recipe. No subs. UGH---such a waste of ingredients!

Earlofcarleton worst cupcake recipe I ever tried to make. Took two tries and one batch was as bad as the other. More like a very dense muffin. In one day they were competly dried out and not eatable.

Earlofcarleton... did you use "Splenda for Baking" as the sweetener in this recipe (written as "sugar blend")? Recipes such as this one have been specially altered for the specific use of Splenda for Baking. Substituting regular sugar or any other sweetener will not work well in such recipes without adapting other aspects of the recipe, too, in order to account for the differences in the way the different sweeteners react during the baking process.
