Maybe you can start with top and bottom element at the beginning at 190C for 15 minutes, then switch to bottom heat at 180C for another 10 minutes. Hope it helps! ;) Grace: If you are using top and bottom heat element, how can your muffins be under-baked at the middle and bottom?

I set the oven to 200deg. Guess my muffins cups are too big & tall plus it's my first time. I think I should properly use both top & bottom element for even baking? But I tried to google, only one website says use the bottom element for baking? Kinda lost on that, that's why I need some advice. I placed my tray in the middle & my oven is cheap 20litre aerogaz. thanks for replying! :) I filled my mixture to about 80% of the cups.

Can you control the top and bottom heat? At which level did you put your baking tray - low, medium or high? What was the temperature you use for baking these muffins? Different size of muffin cup will require different baking time, baking temperature and also the level you place the tray. May I know which model of oven do you have?

But my major problem is the top part of my muffin is burnt & the bottom is underbaked :( According to my oven manual, it says using the top heat element for baking which I followed. I'm wondering one normally use both the top & bottom heating element for baking instead? (mine is a non- conventional oven) Does the muffin cup size affect? Cause I bought a tall muffin cup maybe about 7-8cm. The bottom & middle is underbaked. Hi, I just made a batch of muffins, I’ve no problem with getting the dome.

Different flour has different protein level. The lower the protein, the softer the cake. I am using cake flour from Prima now. Previously, I had tried it with top flour from Bake King. Both worked well for me. Hope it helps. For more information on type of flours, please refer to this link: http://whatscookingamerica.net/Bread/FlourTypes.htm. Jill: Thanks for your kind feedback.

I love using yoghurt in baking too as it makes the cake/ muffins very moist the next day. I had posted a blueberry orange muffins recipe that also calls for yoghurt but uses mixing method. Do give it a try! ;) Ling: Thanks for your kind sharing. I love using yoghurt in baking too as it makes the cake/ muffins very moist the next day.
