The oven temp was set to 350 and the baked for 20 mins but i thought it was weird that was how they baked. The cupcakes never rose.

So here is the recipe I used.....http://www.marthastewart.com/342396/yellow-butter-cake The only thing I did different was put the milk in all at one time and before the flour. Well when I did that the milk curdled (it was brand new,...
