Do you bake cupcakes on a regular basis? If so, you have probably noticed that the paper bottoms of your cupcakes have wet or greasy bottoms. Fortunately, the solution for avoiding greasy cupcake liners is super simple! Your lifesaver? Uncooked rice! I will tell you all about it in this blog.
Help, my paper cupcake bottoms are moist/greasy! How can this happen?
It’s really annoying when the cupcake papers of your freshly baked cupcakes feel greasy or wet after baking a batch of muffins or cupcakes. It can also make it harder to peel your cupcakes out of their paper liners. I am often asked how this can happen and if there is an easy solution to this annoying problem. Part of this is also due to the high butter content of the cupcakes.
If you do have greasy paper liners, it could also be that the quality of the paper is less than perfect. This will cause the butter from your cupcake batter to seep through the cupcake wrappers. If you do suffer from damp cupcakes, excess moisture is always the culprit. Of course making sure you have good cupcake liners is also handy. Trying out different liner brands will make a world of difference to the end result.
If, like me, you bake your cupcake batter in paper molds in stainless steel muffin tins, leaving the cupcakes in there to cool after baking will cause condensation to form in the mold and wet your cupcake paper. Of course, I am assuming that you have used a good basic cupcake recipe.
