Zoe,
I made you recipe into the 9-inch double layer cake with the Mocha Buttercream for a friend’s birthday. (now an epic event due to your cake) First, there was stunned silence at the shock of having taken a bite of something so good, then an immediate need to be reassured that the recipe would be shared, and finally, a sigh of relief after finding out that the rest of the cake was, indeed, going to be left for my friend to finish. Thank you for sharing.

Stephanie

Hi Evie,

I have used olive oil in this recipe and I love it, but I LOVE olive oil. You can definitely taste it, so many people will find that flavor too strong. I usually make it with a vegetable oil like canola.

Thanks, Zoe

Hi Zoe!
Made these cupcakes last weekend and they were FANTASTIC! Used Frangelico instead of rum. This weekend, I’m using the icing to spruce up my carrot cake which I forgot to add the sugar to. My family forgave me instantly.
I’m looking forward to using this recipe to make a Black Forest cake for my husband’s birthday.
Thanks,
Tina

Spectacular! I thought I had found the recipe I wanted, baked them and just knew they could be better. Your recipe is IT! I used Brandy and 2/3 buttermilk and 1/3 whole.
These are the cupcakes I will get in Heaven!!!! Thank you.

Thank you so so much for this recipe! I tried a test run and they turned out perfectly. I was a little worried since my batter was very very runny. Really these are awesome cupcakes!
