Jumbo cupcakes: Batter from an 18.25-ounce box of cake mix yields 12

of the 3-to 4-inch cupcakes. They need to bake for 25 to 30 minutes.

How much batter goes into each cupcake pan?

To fill the cups of a regular pan two thirds full, use ¼ cup batter. The
cupcakes will bake up domed and even with the top of the pan.

To fill the cups of a regular pan three quarters full, use ⅓ cup batter. The
cupcakes will bake above the top of the pan, appear oversize, and may
spread out to form a muffin-like top.

To fill the cups of a jumbo pan three quarters full, use ½ cup batter. This
makes an extremely large, 3-to 4-inch cupcake.

And to fill the cups of a miniature pan two thirds to three quarters full,
use 1½ to 2 tablespoons batter. These cupcakes will dome above the top of
the pan.
