Notes
Muffin Liners
Tulip muffin liners help to get a taller muffin dome.Muffin Spacing
It is best when making muffins to place a liner in every other well for the best air circulation, but it's ok if you need to get it done and fill each well.Baking Time
Altitude really matters here so your cake could be done at 40-50 minutes while ours is usually closer to 50-60.Make Ahead
This cake is awesome to make ahead! Even two days prior to your event is fine if you cover it well.Nutrition
