The World's Best Cupcakes

These are my favorite cupcakes to make. They are so moist and I've done many combinations.

I don't usually rate recipes, however, to all those that wrote previously, I also mistakingly made 2 batches of these cupcakes today & both sunk during cooling (and I'm an experienced baker-shame on me!) I'm not sure what possessed me to try this recipe over scratch other than trying to cut corners & use up "spare" boxes of mix (+ 3 small puddings)...Never again. The excess pudding gave the sunken-mishaps an artificial taste + the amount of pudding used can only give a rubbery, too-dense & under-baked texture even after 30 min of bake time-of course they sunk! Not good, nor fit for a store of any kind...look elsewhere for the World's Best Cupcake recipe.

Ok these are AMAZING!! Used 2 big boxes or 3 small boxes of dry pudding mix--batter is thick its supposed to be and 5 egg whites--got RAVE reviews on these--made them in the banana version (w/banana cake mix and banana pudding)with the cream cheese frostings and sprinkled chopped walnuts on top--people were saying I should open a cupcake store--that good! Also made choc ones with peanut butter frosting--sooooo yummy!

I just made these today to take to a picnic. I would like to ask "mrousso" if the cupcakes sink a little bit in the middle as they are cooling? I had to bake mine 25 minutes, tested as done, but sank during cooling. I followed recipe exactly and they taste wonderful but when I bake cupcakes they usually don't sink in the middle. Comments from anyone who has made this recipe will be appreciated. I will make this recipe again but try this batter in a Bundt cake instead because this combination of ingredients is fantastic. The 1 1/2 cups of dry pudding mix is NOT an error.

I make other cakes similar to this with pudding, oil and the other ingredients listed above and they only take 1 regular size box of instant pudding. The 1-1/2 cups of dry pudding has to be an error.

It is DRY pudding mix that you use for the recipe. As for the size of box you need - doesn't matter what size you buy because you need to measure it out. This recipe calls for 1-1/2 cups of DRY INSTANT chocolate pudding (any brand). Hope that clarifies this for some of you. :)

did anyone find out how many boxes of pudding mix is needed..I'm quessing 2...please let me know...Irene

did anyone find out if it was dry pudding mix,and how many boxes.

How many boxes of pudding is needed (1-small or 1-large package)?

Did anyone ever get an answer to: 1) Is it 1 1/2 cups of dry pudding or already made pudding? 2) If it is dry pudding needed how many boxes will we need? I'd love to try the recipe but I need to know how much pudding to get

Please clarify -- is it truly 1 1/2 CUPS of instant pudding mix?? Would love to these but sounds like a big investment in pudding!

How many boxes of dry pudding mix?

I am new here, but I want it to say, this recipe look delicious.
thank you.

This is an awesome receipe. I plan to make these for my son's wedding. We did a test of several receipes and everyone LOVED these. I used chocolate mix instead of red velvet but they were FAB!

It calls for 1 1/2 c of pudding. Do you put the pudding in dry or already mixed with milk?

Three words: mmmm, mmmm, mmmm! The name of these cupcakes could not describe them better. I could eat these for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And the recipe is so easy to follow. Do you have any other unique recipes?

These are seriously THE most delicious cupcakes I've EVER tasted! They are so moist, and the frosting is addictive. Please open up a bakery and start selling these, so I can keep them in my freezer at all times!

I made a chocolate version of these instead of Red Velvet and they came out AMAZING!!! Very easy to make and a big hit with everyone!
