Made these cupcakes this afternoon in my new muffin tin from KAF and they were a total disaster! The oven at 400 is much too hot and they were totally burnt. Looking through all my cookbooks I found no recipe calling for such a hot oven. Just a warning that you will waste all your ingredients if you bake them at 400 degrees.
Sorry, Lois, that you lost all of those ingredients. All I can say is, it worked fine for me several times. Do you have an independent thermometer in your oven, one that can verify your oven temperature? Perhaps your oven runs hot? Notice that most cupcake bake 30 minutes or so, these only 18 to 20. Did you pull them out after 18 minutes? Trying to figure out what might have gone wrong... PJH
