What Is The Secret To Moist Cupcakes?
If you’ve ever had cupcakes come out dry and unappealing, you might be hesitant to try again. Don’t fret. The key to moist, fluffy cupcakes is really quite easy: Don’t over-mix your batter. Yep, that’s it. See, when you mix the batter, you create air pockets that expand in the oven, resulting in the perfect cupcake texture. Therefore, always mix on a low speed just until the ingredients are combined.
