Cupcakes use the walls of the cupcake liners or muffin pan to help them rise high. If you overfill the liners, there’s too much batter and not enough space to climb. The batter can spill over the sides and you’ll be left with flat cupcakes.

Fill cupcakes only ⅔ full so they have space to rise. Bake one cupcake tray at a time. If you have to bake two – have the oven fan on so it will distribute heat evenly but at a lower setting. Rotate the pan in between cooking this will help them rise evenly too.
