I get more than 2 dozen cupcakes from one batter of the buttermilk devil's food cake recipe and exactly two dozen from a non chocolate cake recipe.

Why is that? Has anyone had this dilema before? It's not a problem that I have more cupcakes than anticipated but I was just curious.

Every cake mix is different. The volume of batter varies. The consistency of the batter varies as well. Some boxes yield 5 cups of batter and some 6.........does that address the question?

Yes that answers my question.

CakeDiva, the buttermilk devil's food cake recipe is in the Cake Mix doctor book. It is a delicious recipe. I get RAVE reviews every single time I make it. If you want the recipe, I can pm it to you.

I'm thinking it is the way buttermilk acts as a levening agent - makes the batter expand. Make sense?

I read a lot of things about doctoring cake mixes I just assumed you where all smarter and better bakers than I am (oh you all probably are as I am new). What is the exact name of the book and where can I find it.
Also is there any book out there that has fillings my family is tired of pudding filling. Thanks

The Cake Mix Doctor, Chocolate from the Cake Mix Doctor, Cupcakes by the Cake Mix Doctor.

www.cakemixdoctor.com

You can check them out at the Library, I'm told. also can buy at any bookstore or Walmart. Has a lot of frostings/fillings as well.

Funny! My DH always says I'm in the "lab" when I'm baking. I do feel like a mad scientist sometimes icon_biggrin.gif
