Thanks for the detailed update. I’m so glad the recipe worked well for cupcakes too.

I used them for my daughter’s high school graduation party, I did 350 for about 20 minutes, I think. They were absolutely perfect. My only mistake was I under-filled them because I was worried about high how they would rise. Next time I would aim for 24-30 cupcakes rather than 36 and fill them around 3/4 or slightly higher. They had great structure, which is usually my biggest issue with cupcakes at my elevation. Thank you again for this recipe, it’s amazing.

Hi Danielle – I haven’t tried cupcakes, but I would bake the cupcakes at 325° for about 22 minutes. Let me know how it goes.

I live at about 5300 feet. Any adaptations other than baking time? Tia!

I turned it into a marble cupcakes by taking 1 cup of batter and adding 1/4 cup dark cocoa powder, 1 T oil , 1 T sugar and used a small scoop of the chocolate on top of the medium scoop of batter in cup cake liner. Swirl with knife.
