Use room temperature ingredients. It is important that you use room-temperature ingredients like eggs and butter. This step ensures that your mixture mixes into a homogenous mixture and bakes perfectly. you don’t want to place cold batter into the oven.
Don’t overmix the batter, you don’t want to develop the gluten in the flour. This step ensures you have a moist cupcake and not a dense and dry cupcake.
Measure your flour correctly! When measuring your flour, avoid scooping it with a measuring cup. Instead, stir the flour with a spoon to create as many air pockets as possible, and spoon it into your measuring cup. Finally, level it with a back of a knife.
Be patient! I know it’s extremely tempting to eat and frost these cupcakes as they are pulled out of the oven, but let these cupcakes cool for at least 1 hour to prevent the frosting from melting.
Make sure that your leaveners are fresh like baking powder and baking soda. If you are using expired leaveners. You can check this by adding a little bit of the baking soda or baking powder to some hot water, and if it bubbles, it's still good to use, if it's not, throw it away!
