How do you make cupcakes rise higher?
Place your cupcakes into a preheated 400 degree F oven, no matter what temperature the recipe calls for. Most cupcake recipes suggest 350-375 degrees F, which results in a flat top. When you increase the temperature, the edges of the cupcakes will solidify first, allowing the center to rise, creating a domed top.
What temp should cupcakes be baked at?
Cupcake Baking Temperature: Bake cupcakes at 350 degrees F. Be sure to read the recipe for exact instructions as the batter density may vary. If you are baking in a pan with a dark or non-stick surface, you should lower the recommended recipe temperature by 25°F to avoid over-browning.
What makes the perfect cupcake?
The trick to perfect consistently shaped cupcakes is an ice cream scoop. We use a 3 tablespoon scoop which fills the cupcake liners 2/3 full which is the perfect amount of batter for each cupcake. Too little batter (liners 1/2 filled) and the cupcakes won’t rise over the edge of the cupcake liner.
Can I use melted butter instead of oil for cupcakes?
You can substitute butter for cooking oil, as long as the butter performs the same job as the oil in your cupcake recipe. If you don’t melt your butter, you can still use it in place of vegetable oil, but you might notice a different texture to your final product.
