Hi All,

I want to make high heel cup cakes for a friends birthday (google if you don't know what I mean). I just made a batch of cupcakes, but they sank something shocking :-(

So, I am after a quite heavy (too spongy won't hold the icing) cupcake recipe which won't sink.

Can anyone share?

This is mine. It's quick and easy, and delicious...

This is the one I always use. Yummy and I have never had any problems with them.

The first link has a similar method to what I do - cream butter and sugar, beat in eggs, fold in dry ingredients alternating with wet ingredients.

I find that it makes a nice soft and light cupcake that is still strong enough to hold a decent amount of icing.

The second link looks like a mudcake style recipe. I assume it would create a denser cupcake which may be what you are looking for.

As for the sinking centre, it is similar to trouble shooting cakes:
- is your oven too hot?
- did you bake for long enough before checking?
- did you cream the butter and sugar enough? (if using that method)
- did you over beat once the eggs were added?
- is there too much liquid to dry ingredients?

try this one

It is really nice, but I agree that perhaps it is something else other than the recipe?

This one works perfectly for me every time

Thanks all!

Willow Angel, I followed your recipe and they are perfect!

Not sure what went wrong with the first recipe. I think too much butter (the recipe called for 220g) or too many eggs (recipe called for 4).

Now for the decorating challenge!

Thanks again!

they are pretty yummy, simple and fail proof (my oven is funny, and they worked out!)

Most of the food on her blog is too!
