Hi Wayne, thanks for the note, you just need to add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Let us know what you thought of them!
I absolutely did not like this recipe. The cake was heavy and unlike any previous recipes I have tried.

Stunning recipe, they came out perfectly – so incredibly easy to make and delicious!
This recipe is fabulous, it has become my tried and trusted base for every cupcake batch I ever make!
It’s really durable, and i switch up the flavours to change the cakes every time.
My best yet is to add cocoa and coffee granules, shove a square of bar-one chocolate into the middle of the cupcake and bake as per instructions. Top with mocha icing and it’s delicious
Tank you for my fool-proof, flop-proof favourite recipe!
first time i tried this recipe and it worked wonderfully tasted great and the whole family loved them….

This is a lovely recipe. The cakes rise beautifully and bake to the perfect consistency. S/he who does not like the recipe may find that s/he has made a mistake in the baking process because these are lovely. This cupcake recipe is my favourite one so far.
Absolutely delicious!!!
I made this recipe for the kids to give to the mom’s for mother’s day (I work at a nursery school) I mixed in pink food colouring, they came out great. One of the mom’s asked for the recipe. Thumbs up and thanks

Felt like something sweet… which lead to finding this easy cupcake recipe – not too shabby. Light, fluffy and tasty. Many thanks.
The best! I tried it for the first time and it was perfect. Tasted great!
Thanx so much for this awsome recipe!!!
The cupcakes turned out great! However, the icing was awful!! I had to add a WHOLE lot more icing sugar to get a less ‘margariney’ taste and a better texture.
