I just buy whatever box I see first – I’m not brand loyal in that regard. I do use a dough scoop to fill my cupcake liners. Glad you enjoyed them!

delicious! I didn’t have any buttermilk; so I made some with heavy cream- and simultaneously made the butter I used in the recipe too! :)

Just made theses cupcakes, they are by far the best I have ever had, they are light and fluffy. Also made the toffee cupcakes, they were also good, I plan to try all recipes. Thank Annie, your just as amazing as your cupcakes.

Hi Annie, to make this recipe into a cake do you have a specific size pan you would recommend and would i need to double the recipe?

A traditional buttercream is much sweeter than Swiss meringue.

I just made these cupcakes for my brother and his girlfriend’s Halloween party and everyone loved them. They immediately knew that these were homemade vanilla cupcakes and many commented on how buttery and moist that they were. This will be my go to vanilla cupcake recipe. Every recipe that I’ve tried from your site has just been absolutely delicious…Thank you!

Lesley, this is a common problem that I have heard of from readers with different cupcake recipes/different liners/different settings. I’ve researched and researched and talked with all my baking-minded friends and none of us can figure out a reason for it. My personal feeling is that it has something to do with humidity in your individual environment, but I really don’t know for sure. I think there are a lot of factors that go into it. Sorry I can’t be of more help and tell you exactly how to fix it!

Hi Annie! Thanks for this recipe…my family loves these cupcakes! I have made them twice now and both times, I noticed that the liners are peeling away from the cakes. I do not leave them in the pans for more then a minute and put them on cooling racks but it seems to happen right after I remove them from the pan. I’ve searched online for a solution but am following all of those instructions. I’ve only had it happen with this recipe. I wondered if you have this issue and/or if you have any suggestions. I only use good quality grease proof liners from Simplycaked.com.
Thank you!
