Why did mine come out doughy and tasting underdone? I baked them as long as the recipe says if not longer.

Awesome frosting!....it really changes a "good cupcake" to an "amazing cupcake".

These cupcakes came out perfectly. They looked as good as they tasted. Both my family and co-workers loved them. The kitchen manager at the restaurant I work in took one bite and said "I love you". Lol. I only had a problem with the frosting as I added too much of the heavy whipping cream. Other than that, they were fantastic!

As chef/instructor I always had women asking about the cups. A dry measure cup measures to the very top so that the top can be leveled. A wet measuret cup has "space" above the required measurement so that you can move/walk without spilling it! For "firmer" ingredients like mayo, jelly, shortening the dry measure is preferred so that you can level it to the correct measurement.

Moistest cupcakes that I've ever made. Added coffee granules to the cake and cut back a little on the granules for the frosting.

brtedi Reguarding the mayonaise, your recipe indicates 1 cup...Is that in wet or dry measurement?

Think of the different measuring cups as for liquids or solids rather than wet or dry ingredients. Mayo is a solid not a liquid, so use the one you formerly thought of as your "dry" measuring cup.
Hope that helps!

Do you need to refrigerate cupcakes when they are done since whipping cream is in the frosting?
