I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted almond milk for the milk in the recipe. The cupcakes turned out great! They were just as moist and flavorful as the original recipe.

These cupcakes were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might try adding some extra oil or butter to the batter next time.

I had some trouble getting the cupcakes to rise evenly. I think I might have overmixed the batter. But they still tasted great!

These cupcakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still really good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
