I hate to say it, but these turned out absolutely horribly for me, and I’m no idiot when it comes to baking. I thought it sounded like an awful lot when I read 1 1/2 cups, and my first instinct was right; this batter is WAAAAAAY too buttery. I literally had melted butter standing in my muffin tins when I took the cupcakes out, and the bottoms of the cupcakes were completely soggy with butter.

My cupcakes also completely collapsed in on themselves upon being out of the oven for about 5 minutes. Like I said, I consider myself to be pretty well versed in the baking department, and these just did not work at all.
