Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: This will give your cupcakes the best flavor. If you can, use organic ingredients whenever possible.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making your cupcakes light and airy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make your cupcakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the cupcake liners only 2/3 full: This will prevent the cupcakes from overflowing in the oven.
- Bake the cupcakes at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time: This will help to ensure that your cupcakes are cooked through but not overbaked.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
