It can also cause your cakes to be gummy. You never want to overbeat or underbeat your cake batter.
I learned this tip on here recently and it has worked every time:
Preheat your oven to 400. Bake your cupcakes at 400 for the first 5 minutes. Then turn your oven down to 325 or 350 (both have worked for me) and bake for the rest of the time. I get a perfectly shaped domed cupcake that is moist and fluffy. Also my cupcakes are usually done 1-2 minutes before the minimum baking time which helps the moistness, but of course every oven is different.
I bake similar to osgirl but, I preheat to 400 and then put it to 350 as soon as I put them in the oven (mainly so I don't forget after 10 minutes) and they turn out beautiful and domed every time.
Thank you all so much for replying so quickly. I will definately try every tip you all have listed and fingers crossed will get light, fluffy,domed cupcakes. Last thing I want is domed but gummy so won't over beat the batter. Baking over the weekend. Wish me luck ... will keep you posted.
