Variations

Tips & Tricks

• Make sure that your butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking.
• Don't overmix your batter, as this can result in tough, dense cupcakes.
• Fill your cupcake liners about ⅔ full, as the cupcakes will rise as they bake.
• Use a toothpick to test if your cupcakes are done. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cupcakes are ready.
• Let your cupcakes cool completely before you frost them, as warm cupcakes can cause the frosting to melt.
