These cupcakes were fabulous! Very rich, they taste a bit like a brownie.

These were yummy cupcakes for the kid in all of us! Made them for an early Father's Day Celebration (day before) where there were kids of all ages (from 3 to 92). Used my own chocolate buttercream frosting and they were a hit!

These were amazingly awesome. I wasn't sure what to expect based on the previous reviews. Some people said they were dense, but mine came out quite fluffy. After I baked them, they didn't look as nice as a cake mix cupcake would, but I piped my icing onto the tops and they were fantastic. I used special dark chocolate cocoa powder. I look forward to making these again soon.

this is a pretty good cupcake. :) it's light, fluffy, and moist (even without the coffee, which i don't like). the only thing i would say is that i would like more of a chocolate flavor. so i think next time i may add in something extra (to replace that coffee, too.). :)

Excellent cupcake recipe. It is nice and dense and not too sweet so it is perfect for loading with lots of frosting. Make sure you get the oven temperature right and measure accurately other wise they don't firm up as they should.

These were very moist, but had a weird after taste. Definitely better the next day (like most cakes) but I've had better. This one does not make the recipe book.

I didn't use coffee and I made a different frosting, but this cupcake recipe was okay at best. The cupcakes were very crumbly and spread over the top of the cupcake pan (instead of rising). Next time, I would go with a boxed cake mix over this recipe.

These are delicious! They came out really moist with a only a light nice coffee flavor, definitely not too strong as I had feared because I was using espresso. This is a godsend considering I was having a hard time finding a cupcake recipe without shortening that didn't just taste like butter. I didn't use the frosting but a simple buttercream.
