I made a cake batter on Friday. I put way too much flour and couldn't use it because I wanted a perfect cake, of course. I didn't throw it out yet, I put it in the fridge. I want to try making cupcakes with it. Is it still good to use? Will it still be ok tomorrow? Or do I need to dump it?

It's worth a try; I wouldn't dump it.
If it has baking soda in it it probably won't rise as well but it should still taste ok.

Totally.
Baking is all about chemical reactions between ingredients and any leavener that you put in is dead by now.

I wouldn't recommend it for the future and I wouldn't be sure if it would be good now, but what does it hurt to bake it in the oven for a half hour and see what happens?

Well, maybe if OP adds a bit of fresh baking powder/soda (depending on recipe) then it's worth a try. Not sure I'd do cupcakes though, maybe a sheet cake that, worse comes to worse if it doesn't rise can be used as a base for some dessert like tiramisu or trifle.
