Today I made cupcakes for my mums group & thankfully they were easy to disguise with icing & decorations! I used a regular chocolate cake recipe replacing the cocoa with half a cup of flour & thought all would be well. Sadly it seems not, so was hoping to get some feedback from all you King's Daughters :)The recipe I used was as follows:
175g margarine
1 3/4 cups sugar
3 eggs
2 1/2 cups SR flour
1 cup milk
I mixed this all together then baked at 180 degrees & fully expected nice big yummy cupcakes. They looked lovely in the oven but when they cooled they sank & had little peaks in the middle - looked like little volcanic mountains without the hole on top. So what went wrong? Was it the recipe, the baking temperature or just me? I would love to hear your suggestions or even a better recipe. My friend is a pro cupcake baker, hopefully she will read this and send us a photo of her cupcakes and some tips.... hint hint Mish! xxx
