People have had varying degrees of success using some of the following ingredients to keep their cakes moist. Ricotta, sour cream, yogurt, oil, and even mayonnaise. IMO, the mayo works surprisingly well and has no ill effect on taste.

Try adding about half a package of instant pudding mix (vanilla should work) and use the muffin/cupcake papers that hootynoodle suggested.

For just one day ahead, I'd frost and cover any exposed cake. Cover and refrigerate.

[hotoynoodle]

cupcakes aren't usually frosted all over, but using muffin papers will help. they will easily keep more than a day without drying out.

where will you be storing them? they sell tupperware type cupcake storage boxes.

[chowser]

You can get pretty close to full coverage but the more covered, the better. I do use muffin liners, the aluminum more than paper which absorbs some moisture, though not a huge amount. Costco has a plastic carrier for three stacked tiers that works well.

My experience is that the foil liner shreds into a million pieces when you try to peel it off.
I quit using them. Then I saw Jacques Pepin using a paper one inside a foil one (he was not using a muffin tin) and realized that there's a reason why they are sold with a paper liner between each foil one, other than to make it easier to separate the foil ones (which I assumed was why they are packed that way).

[chowser]

I usually separate the two because it's more cost effective--theoretically you'd use both as you say. I think the aluminum ones are made for use w/out the muffin tin. I haven't had problems w/ removing the aluminum ones but the last time I said that about paper liners, they stuck and it was terrible--for mini brownies.

You could grate root vegetables in. Things like beetroot or carrot would make them super-moist, add sweetness, and be healthier.

it's a little tough to understand your recipe, and if i'm reading it right, i see your milk and coffee as your liquid for the cake?

two things to try:
1. sub about 1/3 of your caster sugar with brown sugar, light or dark.

2. since you're making them a day ahead, as soon as your cupcakes come out of the oven, throw them into the freezer to lock in the moisture. when they've almost frozen, seal them in an airtight manner, and take them out the next day.

You might consider injecting or soaking them in espresso, or coffee liquer and most importantly don't overbake (pull a little early & let carryover heat finish the baking).
