Dear LazyWeb Bakers:

[mlerules]

I'm going to try to bake a pound cake recipe in small rose Bundt cake forms. The recipe calls for baking approx 50 minutes at 350. Any suggestions as to baking times for what're essentially a dozen fancy cupcakes rather than a loaf pan?

EDIT: Hmm, I might bake 'em in several batches, trying different times and seeing what works best.

Definitely less than the whole cake. I'd toothpick'm at 20 mins.

And per here, thats about right.

If thoughts indeed create alternative realities, there is a world where I am sitting on your couch enjoying the amazing smells filling The Hive. *grin*

10-15 minutes

When I do banana bread that runs 50 minutes in a loaf pan, I usually start checking muffins at about 12 minutes.
get a straw (I usually use baboo skewers, because they're easy to find, and long enough to check without burning myself..) and poke it into one of the cupcakes, to the center. When it comes out clean, they're done.

Be aware that your standard muffin tin has spaces around the edge and in the center. the center ones cook slower than the ones on the edge, unless you leave some empty...

Thx so much for the tips. And yes, I do indeed have bamboo skewers for testing. I shall post the results once available (likely today or tomorrow).
