If your batter has a high liquid content, shrinking will occur after baking. The liquid produces a lot of steam. This steam puffs up the cupcake, but will evaporate after baking and your cupcakes will shrink. Over-beating the batter: By doing so, it can cause too much air to get into the batter. The air then collapses, along with your cupcakes. Oven temperature: If your oven temp is too high, this can cause the cake to rise too rapidly. Thank you v much x.
Hello, I have the same problem. I baked cupcake using a cake flour and after baking it shrink. Maybe you are right, I must lessen the baking powder Your problem could be the levening, but it also could be you mixed in too much air. If you are using a stand mixer rather than a hand mixer do not mix it for any longer than 1.
If you do, you will for sure have the "hot air balloon" problem - the bake up beautifully, but when they cool, the cool air shrinks and brings the whole cupcake in with it. I had this same problem, but since I started using this method I've never had the problem again. Home Recipes. Experience the world of cake decorating like never before with Cake Central Magazine!

The outer edges of the cupcakes bake too fast, crisp up and stop rising very quickly while the center still keeps rising and ends up pushing through the top of your cupcakes — pointy! The worst pointy cupcake episode I ever had was when I baked my cupcakes in a convection oven. I cried. Another reason is over-beating your batter. Make sure you follow the instructions of your recipe.
Certain cake recipes do require extensive beating once all the ingredients have been combined. Just be sure to stick to the required beating time of your particular recipe. Image by restingdough. Then, within the next 3 minutes, they shrink into puny little things and the texture is also way too dense. Why does this happen?! Perfect cupcakes are obviously not over-baked, but it really is important for them to be baked properly.
Then you have a perfect bake. There should never be any traces of batter glued to the skewer. Also be sure to insert the skewer all the way to the bottom of the cupcakes, not just to the centre. If the batter has not cooked and formed a proper structure, it will sag down and in once out of the oven. Over-beating your batter overworks the gluten, making it tough and less likely to rise.
Another analogy is that you are beating in too much air which will then escape once your cupcakes are out of the oven, causing them to shrink. It is a handy ingredient yes, but not always so trustworthy in my experience. They had come out perfectly every time before this one particular day. I always bought the best Self-rising flour our country has to offer. This one day they shrunk into oblivion! I made them again — same result. Then I made them yet again, but this time using flour and baking powder — perfect cupcakes!
Just use 2t baking powder per g 1 cup Flour. It was a brand I had never seen or heard of before, but come on! I bought a few… Little did she know…. The poor cupcakes shrunk to about half their original size in just 2 minutes after exiting the oven. I made them again with a trusted brand of sugar — perfect cupcakes! We ended up using the poor quality sugar in our tea and coffee. It was purely just a lack of focus that revealed this error. My mind was occupied with a lot of stuff…. So the cake would be a tad too sweet if I might be adding extra, big deal.
Shrinking cupcakes are a big deal though. And shrink they did. Eggs vary in sizes. In the end I wasted a batch of cupcakes instead! Crack it in a cup, whisk it lightly with a fork and then weigh the exact amount of grams you put in. I baked these for 25 minutes, and I rotate the pan after 15 minutes.
I start checking at 20 minutes, so perhaps my opening the oven so many times is the culprit? Tags: chocolate , cupcakes. Post a new comment Error Anonymous comments are disabled in this journal.
