I love this recipe, thanks... Im trying it out tonight! I have a question, can I incorporate banana into the cupcake recipe somehow?

[Heavenlydragon32]

@caramelhuney I'm sure you could! you would probably want to remove something from the wet... i'm not sure exactly what you would need to do, but i find lots of helpful tips like that all over the net! If you find one that works for you let me know! banana would be amazing in these!!

@Heavenlydragon32 everything on the net is way different from this recipe.. and I realllllly want to use this recipe! =) Maybe I will try this one first and add banana in later! My kids cant wait, we've been watching your videos getting excited to try our own!

[Heavenlydragon32]

@caramelhuney I'm not pro but i would try removing a little milk and adding some banana. then if it's too thick just add more milk. that's the good thing about scratch cakes. you can mess around with that stuff.

LOL I love that "I'm going to get married in a few years and people will buy me nice stuff"

These look good! I'm going to make them some time.

[bloomcrazy927]

when you said sift them together, did you mean whisk them together or actually sift them with a sifter if we have one?

I just got finished baking these and they are SO GOOD! They were just moist enough and the peanut butter frosting came out excellent. I'll be making these again. Thank you for the receipe.
