After my cupcakes have cooled the tops are dry, but after a few hours at room temperature the tops start getting sticky/slimy (plain cupcakes no icing). Any one know why and how I can stop it?

Based on my past experience, 2 things could have happened...either you needed to bake them just a tad longer, or the batter was too moist. Depending on what recipe you used, you may have needed to add more flour. HTH!

Having the same problem...have no clue though. Didn't think a cupcake could be TOO moist.

It has nothing to due with being underbaked or not enough flour. The reason I guessed you were using a doctored mix is that if you add in other acidic or sweet ingredients into a balanced recipe ( like a cake mix) you can create an out of balance end product which will draw moisture from the air ( sugar is hydoscopic, as are many acids like lactic, the acidin milk) .
Your cupcakes are getting slimy because you've pushed the recipe out of balance in some way. It won't really hurt anything, but don't let them sit around like that. The mosit environment is very bacteria friendly.

I would guess it is the recipe you are using. The epicurious double chocolate cake recipe that everybody here uses will go a little out of whack and get sticky on top depending on the Ph of the cocoa you use.
