This was ok. I put the cupcakes in the oven for 17 minutes and my son said it looked and tasted like vanilla corn bread. Not sure why it wasn’t moist. The icing is very good and overall it was an ok recipe, just don’t really think the cost of 2 vanilla beans at $20 for them will as worth it. Next time I’ll buy vanilla cake mix and make the icing.

These cupcakes are delicious! These cupcakes are easy! I have been trying different vanilla cupcake recipes for years now since it became my daughters favorite. This is by far the best one yet. So easy, my 7 yr old can make it. I just cut the vanilla bean and put it in the oven. Yay! Thanks so much. Oh, and the frosting is great too!
