Tips for Baking a Perfect Cupcake
Bring all ingredients to room temperature before mixing your cupcake batter.The ingredients will mix evenly, and the result will be a wonderful cupcake batter.By mixing cold ingredients into your batter, you risk having a lumpy batter which might cause you to overmix batter.
Fill your cupcake wells 1/2 to 2/3 full.Any more and you will get a gooey mess instead of a beautiful cupcake.If you use less than 1/2 a well of batter, then you will get wimpy cupcakes and will have to use extra frosting to make them look larger.
Don't overmix your batter.This will cause your cupcakes to be rather chewy instead of perfectly moist.As stand mixers mix batters faster than regular hand mixers you need to reduce mixing time
Bake your cupcakes at the proper temperature.Preheat your oven to the correct temperature BEFORE you put your cupcakes in the oven.
Make it easy o remove the cupcakes from your pan.Either use paper or foil wrappers or spray the individual wells with a nonstick spray.If you are using the new silicone pans, wrappers or nonstick spray work fine in these also.
for flattop use very hot milk,
for slightly domed topuse hot milk
and for large domes topuse just warm milk .
