I made these for my husband’s 70th birthday and they were a huge hit. My grandson who is a chocolate lover asked for these for his upcoming birthday. The frosting was Amazing. Thank you for a great recipe and the explanations of the testing method. I love the geek-y science part of it. I Always want to know why my baked good turned out the way it did! Found you via a YouTube suggestion. So happy. 😍

Hi Tam! I’d scrape half a vanilla bean into the icing, stir it in and taste test. If you feel it could use a little more, add the rest of the vanilla bean (I’d probably end up using a whole one but it depends on the size of the beans etc.). I hope that helps!

Hi,
I want to try this recipe. I have whole vanilla beans instead of vanilla bean paste. How would I substitute that in the icing?

Thanks

I haven’t tried it, but you could make my birthday cupcakes with or without the sprinkles instead. That recipe uses sour cream. 🙂

Can I substitute sour cream for buttermilk? and if so, how much sour cream would it be?

That’s a lot of cupcakes! I’m glad you enjoyed them! These will stay fresh for several days in an air tight container at room temperature. 🙂

Hmmm that’s very odd. If something wasn’t mis-measured I am stumped as to what could have happened. 🙁

Not sure what happened, I measured everything by weight & ended up with my 1st baking disaster in decades. Cupcake liners were only filled 3/4 full & yet they oozed out all over the cupcake pan, are sunken in the middle & burnt on the bottoms after only 17 min in the oven. I am truly ortple

Hey Sam,
I was wondering if you could half the cupcakes and the frosting to make only 6 cupcakes?

What’s the best way to store the cupcakes? I wanted to make them a day ahead.

In reply to Sam.

Could I replace the large egg with an extra large egg? Would that affect the recipe in any way?

Could I double this recipe to make twenty four?

In reply to Eljay M..

Hi Eljay! The cake and cupcakes are just slightly different recipes, which is why one has brown sugar and the other does not. They are going to have slightly different tastes. The cake recipe does have instructions for baking as cupcakes below the recipe. 🙂

Hi, I just made your vanilla cake and I love it! it’s my go to recipe I use it all the time but I was wondering why does your cupcakes use packed brown sugar but not the cake? do they taste similar to your cake? could I use the cake recipe to make the cupcakes? sorry for all the questions I just want to make sure I do this right.

“Best cupcake ever!!!” from one of my four sons! We all loved them, great recipe. Mine were not as light in color as yours, do you use clear vanilla? Mine was not. I’ll be making these vanilla cupcakes again! Thank you!!
