Vanilla Cupcakes

hmmm...not sure why the cupcakes did not raise properly. But the brown cases one did have a nice dome. The cake texture is slightly dense but is still soft to taste. I follow the instructions carefully and did not over beat the mixture, is it because I half the recipe that affect all these hiccups? clueless.....
