What’s the difference between cake mix and muffin mix?
The quantity of sugar and butter is higher in cakes/cupcakes than in muffins. The blending procedure and the consistency of the batter separates cakes/cupcakes and muffins. Cupcakes are made by creaming the sugar and butter together to make a smooth, cushioned batter.

How do you keep berries from sinking in muffins?

Frozen blueberries can be preferential in baking because they help prevent sinking and are less likely to burst during cook-time. If you are cooking with blueberries, you can almost always replace fresh with frozen.

Can I use self raising flour instead of plain in muffins?
To substitute self – rising for all-purpose flour, look for recipes that use baking powder: about ½ teaspoon per cup of flour, minimum. Self – rising flour will work just fine in recipes using about 1/2 teaspoon (and up to 1 teaspoon*) baking powder per cup of flour.
Why are my muffins soggy in the middle?
With recipes that don’t have heavy or juicy add-ins, soggy bottoms are often caused by leaving muffins to cool in their pans for too long. This is problematic, as it traps steam. When baked goods come out of the oven they’re naturally very hot, and internal steam needs to escape while they cool.
