HELP! I've made these cupcakes 3 times now and I really liked them the first time. These last two times however I've felt that the batter was a little thick and then the cupcakes come out kind of heavy-reminds me of pound cake. Could this be due to over working the batter? Or maybe its the milk? The last two times I used whole milk but I think I might not have the first time. Any other ideas???
