to the person who gave up because her cupcakes kept falling in the middle, you might be using the wrong cocoa. I note that thsi recipe calls for much more baking soda than powder, that would mean natural cocoa would work best. dutch process cocoa doesn't react well in recipes with baking soda. good luck.
