"I followed this to the letter but my cupcakes turned out fairly hard and quiet dry, not sure what I did wrong? "

Bakingmad: "Oven temperatures may vary from oven to oven, it is possible that your oven might have been too warm on this occasion and that your cake became overcooked. Perhaps you could try decreasing the temperature next time you bake these. You could also purchase an oven thermometer to check the accuracy of your oven temperature; these are available in most bake-ware stores. To achieve beautifully moist cakes, a top tip is to place a roasting tin of water at the base of your oven when baking. The steam will create added moisture. BakingMad.com"
