"Cupcake recipe!"

   I'm looking for some good cupcake recipes. I've kind of got Red Velvet in mind but would appreciate any! My DD is having a b-day party for herself on Fiday and I thought it would be fun to suprise her with a bunch of cupcakes instead of the usuall B-day cake. Any ideas? Dee

   Dee - one of my favorite cake recipes is a banana cake recipe out of the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. this recipe is moist enough to hold up well for cupcakes and very simple to make. I top it with a vanilla buttercream icing but really, is good enough to eat unfrosted.
2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup mashed ripe banana
1/2 cup buttermilk or sour milk
1/2 cup shortening (I use butter, the real stuff)
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla

combine 1st 5 ingredients

add next five ingredients

beat with electric mixer on low speed until combined, then beat on medium speed for 3 minutes
Teri

I make funfetti from a box so I'm the wrong one to ask, but The Pioneer Woman made red velvet cake the other day.

   Thank you all, such great ideas! DD was 28 on the April 4th. The party was a blast. About 30 people came. I ended up finding a Paula Dean red velvet cupcake recipe that was sooooo good(and very easy) with cream cheese frosting. Highly recommend this recipe.
I will try some of these other recipes, for some reason I've got a thing for cupcakes lately. And now after sampling the cupcakes I made for DD's party my 16 year old neighbor boy offered to gladly help me out with the tasting process. lol
I have some bananas that are getting too ripe I think I'll try that recipe next.Thanks again Dee
