Hi All
Anyone know why the bottom of my cupcakes are always greasy? I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Thank you in advance.
Do you use a stoneware muffin pan? If so, it is the oil that has been absorbed by the stone.
No I'm not greasing my liners and yes the recipe has oil in it. I'm wondering if the recipe is calling for too much oil. : /
I have a few recipes that use oil instead of shortening or butter. They are greasy on the bottom. Try using foil liners- like the Reynolds ones in the grocery store. The selection of colors and styles are limited, but it's the only solution I've found. Paper liners will let the grease soak through every time.
I think recipes with oil are more likely to do that (my experience). I use butter only and don't have that problem.
Ditto. My red velvet used to do that before I switched the oil in the recipe to butter.

Osgirl - how much butter to oil do you use?
My cupcakes with oil are not greasy. I do use a quality greaseproof liner and I have used Reynold's with success. One recipe I use has a lot of oil (Cakeman's).
Could it be your pan? If the cake counterpart is not oily, see if the cupcake pan may be a cheaper pan. You may get a more stable result from a heavier/lighter color pan. Just a suggestion.
Also check your temp in your oven. A slightly off temp may not affect a cake, but is more likely to affect those things with shorter baking times. OK, I'm out of ideas.
