Guides & Troubleshooting
Improve your technique with step-by-step guides.
Room temperature ingredients blend into one smooth batter instead of separating, which gives cupcakes a fine, even crumb. Cold butter or eggs cause lumps and trapped air pockets that bake into dense or rubbery spots.
Creaming butter and sugar properly means beating them together for 3 to 5 minutes until the mix turns pale. Fluffy, and almost doubles in size. That air you beat in is what gives cupcakes their soft, light crumb.
350F is the best all around oven temperature for cupcakes. It bakes the batter through in 18 to 22 minutes while still building a light, domed top without drying out the edges.
