Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the cupcakes bake evenly and prevent them from curdling.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will incorporate air into the batter, making the cupcakes light and airy.
  • Gradually add the eggs, one at a time. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Mix in the flour and baking powder until just combined. Overmixing will make the cupcakes tough.
  • Fill the cupcake liners only 2/3 full. This will prevent them from overflowing in the oven.
  • Bake the cupcakes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 18-20 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake should come out clean when it is done.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
