  • To make the cupcakes extra moist, use a combination of butter and oil.
  • Don't overmix the batter - overmixing can make the cupcakes tough.
  • Fill the cupcake liners only 2/3 full - this will prevent them from overflowing in the oven.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them.
