Homemade tea parties are often accompanied by cute decorated cupcakes. They're quick and easy to make. But to surprise your guests and loved ones with perfect cupcakes, follow a few tips:

  1. The ingredients should be at room temperature.
  2. To ensure the dough turns out soft and airy, it is best to beat it with a blender or mixer.
  3. The batter should only fill ¾ of the mold. The top of the cake will rise during baking, so it's important to keep it from falling out of the mold.
  4. Bake cupcakes at 170-180 degrees Celsius until golden brown. Place uncooked dough in a cold oven – the resulting cake will be more tender.
  5. It's best to use a damp cotton or linen towel to cool the cupcakes. The cupcakes will stay moist, and the sunken cap will make decorating them easier.

Simple tips will help you maximize the flavor of the dough and make your cupcakes more presentable.
