It was a DH chocolate mix but I seem to have this problem frequently. Added a box of pudding and extra egg. The cupcake crowns look nice and plump when they come out of the oven but as they cool, they shrink back down - almost flat. I'd prefer them to have a bit of a crown like they did while baking.
I had the same problem -- only when I added pudding -- and it turned out I wasn't baking them long enough. I read a thread on this topic and someone said to bake them longer. I let them cook an additional 3-4 minutes and it took care of the problem. I wish I could give the CC's credit who gave this advice. Good luck.
Nikki_B, that's interesting. I have the problem with the cupcakes all the time no matter what flavor. Use the same batter from a cake and the majority of them sink. I turned up the temp and let them bake longer. still didn't help for some, some it did. I by my eggs bulk at Costco I'll have to try eggs from the grocery store. They are all grade AA though.

Thanks Nkki_B, I'll make sure I by the latest date. I use them pretty fast most of the time. I will surley keep this in mind though.
Lovescakes, my cakes turn out fine and a lot of the time they are from the same batch. ??? Don't know, I'll give it a try though (shorter mixing time) and see what happens.
