I purchased a cake mix that does not include instructions for making cupcakes. Is it safe to assume that I can use the same amounts of ingrediants and just alter the cooking time for cupcakes?

Just make it like the box says for a cake and fill the cupcake papers only about 3/4 of the way not all the way or you will have a mess

The only difference between fixing a regular cake and cupcakes is you put the batter (same amt of ingredients for each) into a cupcake pan. I have never had to adjust the time or temperature and they've always turned out fine.

Yes, you can use exactly the same recipe and just alter the cooking time. Bake them about half as long as the box says, but check about halfway through that time to see how close they are to being done. You can put a toothpick in and if it comes out clean, they're done. Also, regular-sized cupcakes take longer than mini-cupcakes.

Then you can make a cake out of it instead of cupcakes! I don't think it would need to be altered. Cupcakes are mini cakes in baking cups!

you should be able to make as directed on the package and fill the tins 2/3 full baking until cupcakes spring back to the touch. Also, spray the cupcake liners with a spray release so the cakes don't stick to the liners.

I was just looking for a cake mix...cant find one in the cabinet. I used to make them alot!!! Fill the cupcake to 2/3s full because they get bigger as they cook. I would start with 15 minutes. Use a toothpick or raw spaghetti noodle to test for doneness!!

Just make the recipe the same as on the box but only leave them in the oven for between 10-15 mins.

No, just remember to only fill the cupcake liners 1/2 way

Yes, that is correct. Use the same temperature and check for doneness three to five minutes earlier than for a cake.
