Going to try this recipe, does it make 24 cupcakes?

Just tried your recipe. The cupcake was good, although maybe a little heavy. Next time I will try the recipe and substitute the flour for cake flour. I also used a 24 count cupcake pan at the 325 temp for 20 min. and the cupcakes in the middle section of the pan took longer to bake. Thanks for your recipe.
