  This is a great recipe, loved the topping so simple- but worked so well. Only thing to watch for is when adding the cocoa powder my mix became very dry.

  First time I made these they were a little bland, however i've made them again with a bit more cocoa powder, sugar and vanilla essence and they are much much nicer! Baking time for me was just to keep an eye on them and judge when they're ready. Definitely more than 8 minutes though..

  Very very easy to bake - minimal help required by my 3-year-old. We followed the advice above and made marble cakes and they were delicious. Will be making again!

  I used this recipe to make all chocolate cupcakes (didnt have any vanilla). I increased the cocoa amount (about 3tbsp) and added a splash of milk, worked out really well! Enjoyed by everyone! Will definately make again.

  This is an amazing recipe, I tried for a school assignment and I have made it so many times since then because you just can't go wrong with it - It's impossible and very easy to make with no time at all!

  A great little recipe for great little cakes. I make the mixture twice, one for vanilla and one for chocolate and spoon it into standard sized cases, so it marbles and even my chocolate hating little brother can't get enough of these. Because of the larger size you have to bake them for longer. I'd say for about 15 minutes.

  These are very cute and very tasty. My daughter made them this evening for her Brownies hostess badge. I'm very glad I read previous comments, we copied one of them that said the batters were put together with a marble effect. Only thing is, they took a good while longer than the 8 minutes to cook. In fact I had to reset the timer 3 times! If I could, I would give a 4 star rating but can't seem to highlight the stars at this point.

  Made these twice now - I made grown up sized muffins so only got 8 out of the mixture, and made them all chocolate (4 tbsps of good quality Green & Blacks cocoa). Added a good splash of milk to loosen up the mixture, and they've come out moist and yummy each time. The first time I ran some fudge pieces through the mixture and the second time I made them in to butterfly cakes with butter cream filling. Baked for 15 - 20 minutes. Perfect, easy recipe!
