Here is a small guide on how to make same sized even level top cupcakes.
1 Use an ice cream scoop to measure out your batter, thus ensuring that your cupcakes are the same size across the board. I usually add one level scoop of batter to each cupcake case.
2 Only fill your cupcake case ½ to ⅔ full this will allow the batter to spread and bake more evenly.
3 Make a dip or swirl in the centre of your cupcakes before placing them in the oven. You can do this by using the handle end of a teaspoon and swirling it in a circular motion in the middle of your cupcake to make a well or dip.
4 Ensure you have the correct oven temperature and always bake in the centre of the oven.
