If I take a cake recipe and convert it to cupcakes how should I adjust the baking time?


TIA!

"until they're done". Seriously. I haven't used a timer in years. When I smell 'em, they're done.

Cupcakes, in general, bake in anywhwere from 10 to 20 minutes, so if you need a timer, I'd suggest you set it for 15 minutes, then check them. If they're done, then you know it takes 15 minutes. If they're not done, leave 'em in for a while longer until they are.

And when you press them lightly on the top your finger should not leave a little dent. They should spring back.

So at what temp ?

we bake for around 15-20 mins

Different people do different things, but in general, I bake at a lower temp initially for a cake because I want the top to be flatter, and I do the reverse for cupcakes because I want the nice dome shape. So while I bake at 325 for cakes and then increase later, I do 350 or even 375 for cupcakes initially and then turn it down after a few minutes to make it have a pretty rounded top. But same as Indydebi just said, I wait till I smell 'em ... don't so much go by baking times. (I don't do cupcakes often enough to know the times by heart for each different recipe with different baking temps .
