Tips for perfect cupcakes

According to MenuCochon: Ingredients at room temperature : Remove eggs, milk and cream from the refrigerator 30 minutes before starting. This helps to obtain a more homogeneous batter and better rising. Do not overmix the batter : Once dry and wet ingredients are combined, mix just enough so that there is no more trace of flour. Overmixing gives dense cupcakes. Check the baking without opening the oven too often : Wait at least 15 minutes before testing with a toothpick. Opening too soon can cause the batter to fall. Let cool before icing : Icing on a warm cupcake will melt immediately. Patience is key to a good result.

According to MenuCochon: Heart fondant cupcakes : Slide a square of dark chocolate or praline into the center of each muffin tin before baking for a delicious surprise. Lactose-free version : Replace milk and cream with vegetable alternatives (almond milk, coconut cream) and use lactose-free dark chocolate. Double chocolate cupcakes : Add chocolate chips to the batter for even more richness and fudginess. Coffee cupcakes : Add a teaspoon of soluble coffee or espresso to the wet ingredients for an intense mocha flavor. Festive decoration : For a birthday or party, add mini candies, sugar pearls or sugar paste decorations.
