If they are not centered then you likely have an uneven floor/oven or the temperature in the oven is uneven.

I’m having problems with my cupcakes. It tends to dome off center. What am I doing wrong? PS love your blog.

I just made these with a few modifications due to ingredient availability (I live in Spain). I also took Leecb’s advice on adding baking soda which worked. They didn’t come out dense, but not light either. I use natural yogurt instead of buttermilk and instead of white sugar I tried brown sugar. The fillings that worked for me were white chocolate chunks with chopped walnuts (hard to find macadamia nuts here) and chopped toasted pecans with a chunk of chocolate that I placed just below the batter in the filled cup. My husband absolutely loves them! Thanks for the great ideas and wonderful combinations of flavors!

I posted last night as I just put them in and wanted to update!

I made them with just the cinnamon and toasted pecan addition. I was skeptical about the oil (don’t know why), but they turned out amazing. I baked with convection though to see, and they were a *bit* dry but also not too dense — nice and cakey. I also used a bit less sugar and certainly made up for it with that amazing frosting. I added cinnamon to the frosting as well, which was nice!

Thanks for sharing the recipe!
