Notes
Tips and Tricks
Avoid Overmixing – Count the 50 strokes. Too much stirring can make cupcakes dense. Even Fill – Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop so each cup bakes evenly. Doneness Check – Start checking at 12 minutes. A clean tester means they’re ready. Release from Pan – Let cupcakes cool before removing so wrappers stay neat. Storage – Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 days. Freeze for Later – Freeze in a single layer, then bag for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature.Nutrition
