This may be a silly question.
Is there really any difference in a cupcake recipe and a cake recipe? I noticed that there is a section on CC for cupcake recipes. I always assumed any cake recipe would work for a cupcake.
I have.
I have found that recipes that have fat that is the same weight as the flour do not make pretty cupcakes, nor good tasting either.
Also recipes that call for unbleached flour (although rare) do not work well either.
I have noticed no difference in cake flour or all purpose as far as taste and appearance go.
I have not used the so called cupcake mix box. I think it is a marketing ploy, but I could be wrong. Regular cake mix worked fine for me when I used them.
I have the book 'Hello Cupcake' and in it they say that for cupcakes a thicker batter is better than a thinner cake batter. I think it has to do with moistness--the thicker the batter the moister the cupcake. I've always used my cake batter, but I do notice the cake texture is not as dense in the cupcakes as it is in the cake.
Thanks Everyone for taking the time to answer my question! I'll stick with cake recipes!
