Cup cakes for birthday

- Start date
Juz finished fatmum's recipe of the mango mousse cake... ONE mango can do wonders... pardon the poor HP camera's colour... the colour is much more orangey-brighter!
frosting of the cake is difficult as mango puree has got fibres...and bits and pieces... can see in the pic...
the jelly part, I halved fatmum's recipe and my pan was not 'tall' enough... so I gotto build skyscraper for my pan... "surround system"... hahahaha... it works!

Hi All Baking Mommies
I am new to baking as persuaded my hubby to get an oven when we shifted into our new place last year.
I tried baking cupcakes over the last weekend. I need advice why the cakes sink in the middle after being take out from oven.
Initially, I cream the butter and castor sugar first. Thereafter I add in the mashed bananas, followed by flour (with baking soda and baking powder) and lastly the sour milk (fresh milk mixed with lemon juice).
When I add in the mashed bananas and the rest, should I be using the mixer or should I just manually mix myself? Does it make a difference?
Mum said I mix the flour too long, is it true?
My 2nd attempt turn out that the cupcakes are abit oily, probably too much butter. But both attempts, the cakes sink in the middle

Makes: About 24 standard cupcakes. Each cupcake serves 1.
instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine flour, baking powder, soda and salt. In large bowl, cream butter and sugar with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, and vanilla; beat thoroughly. Add flour mixture to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition. Add melted chocolate and beat thoroughly. Pour into prepared pan. Bake 20-25 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan on rack; remove and cool completely before decorating.
but there is one thing. i agar agar the butter because it is not at room temperature when i bake the cake. and i add more chocolate, i forgot how much.

Hi n2inpink
recipe of lemon cupcakes which I got from one of SMH mommies many months ago:-
1 cup self-raising Flour
1 tsp baking powder
125g butter
0.5 cup castor sugar
2 eggs
1 tbsp lemon juice
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius
- Put in all the ingredients into the cake mixer and mix at medium speed for about 2-3 mins until light and fluffy.
- Spoon mixture evenly into prepared paper cases.
- Baked in preheated oven for 15-18 minutes until light golden and a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
- Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack.
However I didn't mix all the ingredients together.
I cream the butter and sugar first. Thereafter add in the eggs one by one. Lastly the self raising flour together with the baking powder (already sifted) and the lemon juice.
I put the tray on the middle rack.
I took out the cupcakes after about 20 mins and when it cool, the centre sink which makes me disappointed. Overall the taste is good just that don't understand why it sink.
Btw, what is the estimate for 1 cup?

ktkt,
u sure the recipe call 2cups of sugar? icing sugar or fine/castor sugar?
if castor/fine sugar, 2cups = 500gr leh...
to me, bit too much
your recipe methods sounds ok, if the cupcakes sink only 10%, then shd be ok.
are those cupcakes slanted in same direction? or diff? seems like your oven temperature not really even. did u open the oven door many times before you take out the cupcakes? that can cause oven temperature change drasticly.
for a very chocolat-ey cupcakes, baking time shd be 12-15 mnts, depend on the size of the cupcake.

winniebear,
too bad u didn't take the cupcakes photo, so now only can judge by using the recipe
what is the size of your cupcakes? 4cm or 6cm diameter? size really matter for baking time.
if u using those texas muffin tray, then 20mnts is not enuf.
perhaps try one more time, using same method again, but pay attention to the baking time or oven temperature.
usually, cake will sink too much if it's not well bake.
beside bake this cupcakes, have u done other cake? is the temperature u are using same with the recipe stated? how abt the result? good?
if i remember correctly, your oven is the new one right? perhaps you still need to familiar your self with it. slowly, you will know how your oven "behave".
hope the above info helps
takecare!
xiau ling,
yum yum..... lu skarang mana boleh makan petai... hehehehe!
lil cupcakes,
i've re-sent e-mail to you liao... pls check your spam folder as well? sms me if you have doubt.
