"This recipe as is, is very dry and not sweet. If it were not for the frosting, the cupcakes would have went straight to the trash. Increase the sugar to 1 1/2 or 1 3/4 cups and by all means please add a small box of Chocolate Jello Instant Pudding. The pudding will make them more moist. I will give it one more try with the above adjustments."
