Critical Success Points

  • Preheat the oven to the correct temperature before baking.
  • Cream butter and sugar until pale and fluffy; this creates the cupcake’s light texture.
  • Do not over‑mix after adding the flour; over‑mixing leads to dense cupcakes.
  • Check doneness with a toothpick; under‑baked cupcakes will be soggy.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot oven with oven mitts to avoid burns.
  • Do not consume raw batter containing raw eggs.
