Vanilla Cupcakes - Fail

Whisk Kid, I love your blog and saw you on Martha Stewart for that show stopping rainbow cake but this recipe was a flop. Your amazing picture of those lime cupcakes made me want to try these but unfortunately they came out horrible- they tasted like biscuits and had the texture like biscuits- crumbly, greasy and bready. But this is not the first time this has happened. I’ve tried several vanilla cake recipes and they never taste like vanilla cake- more like pancakes or KFC biscuits. I only tried making the vanilla cupcakes but I’d like to try that swiss meringue buttercream sometime.
