cake vs cupcake batter?

[parrolet313]

I've seen recipies for cupcakes and recipies for cakes - this may be a dumb question - but is there a difference in the batters or that they be used either way?

I use the same batter for both. If you are making a muffin based cupcake the batter will be different but if you want the cake like cupcake just use cake batter.

some cupcake recipes wont hold up to a cake structure being made of it and some cake batters just dont do well as cupcakes, too moist or tend to shrink.
You kinda have to just try and see unless some one was kind enough to have don it already and reported back.
