We all love cupcakes, right?
Moist and delicious! Mmmm!
Here are a few tricks I learned at a cupcake class to use when making cupcakes out of a box.
- Use 2/3 cup measuring cup to fill your liners
- Use the best quality vanilla
- The more vanilla, the better! Add a tsp or two to the batter.
- Substitute mayo for the oil
- Add 1 tsp. baking powder to the batter
- Do not over bake, you want the cake to be spongy
- After removing cupcakes from oven, leave in tins until cool
I like to use all of these tips when making the cupcakes, but you don't have to do all of them. Sometimes, I leave the mayo out of the recipe because it's easier and faster just to pour some oil in.
FYI: The mayo doesn't make the cupcakes taste like mayo, but it does give them a nice texture and added moisture!
Now go off and make some yummy cupcakes!

I adore cupcakes! But... Who doesn't!
Yum, I've personally never baked cupcakes but now I think I'm going to have to give it a try!
Great tips! Thanks for these! I use apple sauce instead of oil in my cupcakes! But maybe I'll give mayo a try now... ;)
I never knew you could substitute mayo for the oil in cakes! I'll have to try that! I wonder if it changes the taste at all?
Thanks for linking to a Round Tuit!
Hope you have a great week!

Hi there- found you through the hop and am a new follower. Oh goodness, I, like everyone else, have never heard of mayo being used in cakes! I hope you have time to follow my life in South Africa by http://withoutcomplexities.blogspot.com
I hope you are having a great week!
do you do all these tips in one batch?
Good tips - I just started making my own vanilla, based on a Pinterest post idea. Now, I'll be adding it to my cupcakes, too.
I'd love for you to add this idea (and any others you like) to my weekly Thrifty Thursdays blog party. Here's the link:Thrifty Thursdays
Thanks so much for those tips. We've tried mayo a couple times, but I think the recipe called for it. I've never been brave enough to just try subbing it in.:)
