Notes

  • Depending on how full you fill each cupcake liner, this recipe will make about 20 to 24. 
  • Do note making you butter softened will help a lot but if you do not live in a dry place softened butter will work.
  • This recipe also works if you want to make a cake as well you just skip the cupcake and pour it into a greased 9 x 13-inch baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes.
  • We liked to add a creamy chocolate frosting on top of it to balance the vanilla to the chocolate but you can use whatever frosting you want to.
