Lab Objective:
You will understand how to assemble cake batter and distribute it into the wells of a muffn tin.
Lab Goal:
You will make chocolate cupcakes that are of equal size and properly baked.
While you are making your batter you will reflect on why it contains boiling water.
When your cupcakes are finished you will take a picture of the finished product with you in the picture.
After tasting the cupcake you will complete the Lab Reflection and upload your product picture to the Google Form.
When you divide your batter to make cupcakes it is important to make them all equal in size. If some of the cupcake wells are filled more than others they will be done baking at different times. This causes some of your cupcakes to be overbaked and others to be under-baked.
It also means that some people will get bigger cupcakes than others which can cause sadness :(
Cupcake Disher
A cupcake disher will ensure that all of your cupcakes are the same size every time. I suggest a red handled #24 size disher.
Liquid Measuring Cup
If you have a runny batter you can use a liquid measuring cup to pour the batter into the cupcake wells. Use one that has ounce markings on the side. Each cupcake should get approximately 1.5 ounces of batter.
Tablespoon
A third way to measure your batter for cupcakes is to use a Tablespoon. Each cupcake should get 3 Tablespoons of batter.
