I am so bummed! These cupcakes sound so good. I have a gas oven and I always set the oven so the timer goes off at the minimun time given in a recipe so I won't over bake. I set the time for 30 minutes but kept wondering why they were so much longer than regular cupcakes. I googled a couple of other Blackbottom Cupcakes and checked the first two that I found and sure enough these recipes (same) called for 25 minutes. Unfortunately, it had been about 25 minutes before I yanked them out of the oven, but too late. The bottoms smelled burned. Just watch your cakes closely before they burn! I would check at 20 minutes if this is your first time using this recipe. Good luck!
