Hi all!  

My chocolate cake recipe is very liquid-y almost like water.  I use it to make oreo cupcakes by putting a whole oreo in the bottom of each cupcake liner before pouring the batter on top.

If I don't rush it fast enough to the oven, the oreos begin to rise to the top.  Is there anything I can do to prevent that from happening?  I know there are tips for the reverse--coat things in flour to prevent them from sinking.  Is there a tip that prevents ingredients from rising?! 

Thanks!

Never made them.  Perhaps it would be more effective to use a batter which is a bit thicker.

I was thinking the same thing....slightly thicken  up the batter.

Don't know if you have seen our replies, but if you are using a recipe like Hersey's Perfectly Chocolate recipe (which I love, by the way), it is a very thin, liquidy batter.  Try using kakeladi's *Original* WASC recipe in a chocolate version.  It is just as delicious and quite dense and sturdy.  While wonderfully moist, it is strong enough to carve and should make a really nice cupcake without the Oreos rising to the top.

This shows up twice because the first like is incorrect and I could not edit it.
