Especially rich and moist the second day. (I used coffee in place of water.) I used papers in the foil cupcake pans and got 16 without any running over. Really easy. Really DELICIOUS.

I followed the recipe exactly. The cupcakes came out dense and tasteless. Even my husband didn't like them. And lucky for me, he will usually eat anything. Perhaps I did something wrong here. But I will pass on this one.

Perfect for what I needed today. These were quite easy for my newly five year old son and I could make together for a family birthday celebration and I loved that these only made twelve instead of 24. (It's much easier for us to each have one and have a couple extra and give the rest away when it's a smaller batch than a larger batch.) I made no changes or substitutions. After they cool, I plan on frosting them with a Nutella frosting I found on a seperate site. Thanks for the easy-peasy recipe using on hand ingredients. I'm broke and impatient so this was a huge help.

I was very scared when I made the batter and it still tasted like mayo. (I used low fat mayo instead of salad dressing) They were a little bit sticky, but they tasted wonderful, so it's okay that it still smelled/tasted like mayo before you bake it!

Absolutely amazing! I made these for someone, but could not get them delivered. 4 days later, I brought them to work... they were still moist and yummy like the day I made them! I didn't even bother with frosting!

These were good. A little concerned when the batter still had mayo-like taste. But cooked up beautifully. These were dense, but not spongy like others experienced; but I used cake flour. Made a trial batch tonight, planning to make again tomorrow for our Fall Festival this weekend.

These were really similar to Mayo Cake that my boyfriend grew up with and raves about about. I had hesitations about putting salad dressing in my cake so I opted for Helman's mayo instead at my boyfriend's suggestion. They were very good and moist but still had a light texture, not heavy or dense at all. Not as chocolately as I would like but still very good. Would try again, maybe with a richer frosting.

I followed the recipe exactly and ended up with very moist, fudgy cupcakes. Everyone loved them! And I loved how this recipe makes 12 - the perfect number for my small family.
