We’re all looking for our cupcakes and muffins to come out of the oven with that perfect little dome.
Knowing how to fill your cupcake tins properly is key so that each cupcake bakes evenly and ends up the same size.
Fill your cupcake cases 2/3 full – around 3 tablespoons – or one decent ice scream scoop. Avoid filling your cupcake cases with too much batter as they will not bake properly and might overflow when they rise.
What happens if you overfill cupcake tins?
While in the oven, muffins and cupcakes rise on the walls of the tin or the liner. If overfilled, the batter will have nowhere else to climb and start oozing over the top, leaving you with flat muffins or cupcakes!
Not only that, but you will be left with a mess on your pan and oven.
What happens if you under-fill cupcake tins?
You won’t get that perfect dome on top if you don’t have enough batter in each tin! The muffins or cupcakes will not rise.
