Hello all!
Newbie here with a question~ I've tried many cupcake recipes and have never achieved a dense, moist cake. All my cupcakes turn out light.
What makes a cupcake dense and moist? I tried cupcakes made by a local shop where all the cakes are so dense that they are heavy...and heavenly!
Thanks for your help!

OK. They moved my post to the recipe section due to having posted in the wrong section. So hopefully someone can help me.
Zespri-is there a "dense" recipe vs. a cupcake recipe? I thought cupcakes were just made from a cake recipe.
I'm looking for the ingredient or possibly a "basic recipe" that makes a dense cake.
Thanks again all!

I thought they meant the 3d cake mix. http://cakecentral.com/recipes/1972/durable-cake-for-3d-and-wedding-cakes
But that's the standard Cake Doctor mix that I always make and I don't think it is uber dense.. moist as all hell.. but not super dense, just holds together well.
Basically, take a box mix, add powdered instant pudding mix (1 box), reduce the water to 1/2 cup and sub in 1 cup sour cream (keeps it moist), add an extra egg and/or reduce to only egg whites. (The recipe here lists 4 egg whites, but some others list 4 eggs.)
The batter will be really thick bc of the pudding. An ice cream scoop with a quick release is best for filling cupcake cups.
