AEvery single time I make cupcake, they don't rise. So if I want taller cupcakes, I have to fill the liner 1/1, all the way and I'm just getting sick of it. I don't think it's the baking powder because I just made a cake last week and it did rise! My oven temperature's not off..and I'm careful not to add to much liquid. What's the problem here and how can I get my stubborn cupcakes to rise?! I'm desperate..I don't want to always have to cut the edges of the liners off! When I open the liner to try a bite, it looks too short and kind of wimpy :( I'm so frustrated, should I stop trying cupcakes? Thanks a ton xo
AI don't really know myself but I did a google search for you, some people have suggested that maybe there isn't enough air that has been incorporated into the mixture?
When I bake my cupcakes at 325 and in my convection oven...I do not get the pretty dome...sometimes I don't want the dome depending on the deco I'm doing. For a pretty dome, I preheat my regular kitchen oven to 350....put my cupcakes in...then turn down to 325 and bake as directed. I get a pretty dome.
Personally, I find that for the majority of cupcake recipes, it's always the best to have your oven at least be 350. I tried doing 325 and my cupcakes were done, but very wet and wimpy like you described. I think it really needs to heat to puff it up.
I have seen on Pinterest, the evil yet helpful beast that it is
, that heating oven to 350 then put cuppies in and reducing temp to 325. I did try this and it helps...also, putting pans on a higher rack does help. But if you've got a ton of cupcakes to bake in a regular oven, it could take forever if you are only using the top rack....
The reason my cupcakes rise is because I fill the cups to at least the half-way point. I sometimes fill it a bit over.
