After all, a beautifully decorated cupcake doesnt mean anything if the cake itself is gross. You have to start with a tasty cupcake canvas So lets start with my 1. Its hard to go too deep into the specifics of cake baking here without getting super lengthy and technical, as cake recipes vary so widely. But in most cakes and cupcakes, the same basic principles apply 1. USE THE BEST INGREDIENTS AVAILABLE. Think you wont be able to tell the difference between imitation and real vanilla extract, or that Dutch Processed Cocoa wont make a difference WRONG Using quality ingredients makes a HUGE difference. If you taste test a cupcake with fakecheapflavorless ingredients next to a cupcake with high quality stuff, the difference will astound you. Go ahead I dare you My favorite flavor enhancers are some Pure Vanilla Extract and this fair trade cocoa powder  theyre both so rich and have an amazing depth of flavor. Using quality vanilla and cocoa, if youre making a chocolate concoction will make the most noticeable difference in cakes, so prioritize those ingredients over others if youre low on funds or baking supplies. If your recipe calls for white vinegar, substitute apple cider vinegar for a bit more depth. I also prefer to make my own buttermilk instead of using store bought. BRING INGREDIENTS TO ROOM TEMPERATURE. Ok, confession I dont always do this. But I really should. When you use eggs or milk or beerwineliquor, if youre making boozy cupcakes straight out of the fridge, they dont combine as smoothly with the dry and room temperature ingredients. This can result in clumps of one ingredient sticking together and making an appearance in one unfortunate bite, which is no fun. Poorly combined ingredients can also cause a cake to be dense rather than light and fluffy. Rose Beranbaum the guru behind The Cake Bible suggests bringing butter to a temperature of 7. Fahrenheit while warming eggs and other liquids to 6. Fahrenheit. The butters temperature is especially important the colder your butter is, the more time it will take to break it down into a cream consistency, which means you run the risk of overmixing your batter. Use nice, soft butter for the best results. The finished batter should ideally be between 7. Fahrenheit, according to Beranbaum. You dont have to bust out the thermometer every time you make a cake, but give your ingredients a touch and gauge their approximate temperatures. If your eggs and butter are still cold to the touch, let them sit awhile longer before you begin baking. DONT OVERMIX THE BATTER. You know how people say baking is a science Yeah. Its for real. The reason mixing times are so important is because the length of mixing determines how much of the gluten in the flour is developed particularly with all purpose flour, as opposed to cake flour which has less gluten to begin with. We crush some of the air bubbles when we overmix, and any remaining air bubbles have to work harder to expand as the cake cooks due to too much gluten development. That means that a ton of pressure builds up inside each air bubble, and when they burst they burst with a lot of force rather than a gentle expansion. The result is long, hollow tunnels inside of your cake, and a cracked surface that forms when air erupts through it like a volcano. The resulting cake will be denser, with a tighter grain. When we undermix, there isnt enough gluten, which prevents the cake from setting correctly or forming a rigid structure and results in a flaky, crumbly cake with a fallen center. To ensure proper mixing, beat cake batter on low until ingredients have just combined. Dont leave the stand mixer on and walk awayWatch carefully to ensure you arent beating the mixture any more than you have to. PS for more info. How Baking Works Exploring the Fundamentals of Baking Science. Its the bestttttttt. USE A SCOOP TO FILL CUPCAKE LINERS DONT EYEBALL IT. Theres nothing worse than pulling a tray of cupcakes out of the oven and discovering they all lie in one of two categories overcooked or practically raw inside. The easiest way to ensure a uniform baking time is to make sure youre putting the exact same amount of batter in each cupcake liner. This is more important with cupcakes than cakes because theyre so much smaller a few tablespoons difference between two 8 cake pans wont make a huge difference, but if two cupcakes are off by the same amount they can come out radically different. The best way to ensure even batter distribution is to use a large scoop for standard sized cupcakes and a small cookie scoop for minis. Fill the liners about 23 of the way for best results. PRE HEAT, AND THEN TAKE THE TEMPERATURE. It goes without saying that you should pre heat your oven, but Ill say it anyway pre heat your oven If you put cupcakes in before the oven is ready, it will mess up their baking process. Also, ovens can be finicky. Invest in a good oven thermometer, and then use it Double check the temperature of your oven before you put your cupcakes in. Old ovens are especially rotten when it comes to sticking to a certain temperature, so be sure the internal temperature matches the number on your oven dial. I once had an oven so old that all the temperature numbers had rubbed off of the dial baking was basically a terrible guessing game. An oven thermometer can take the guesswork out of mysteriously over or undercooked cupcakes and ensure control over the baking process. BAKE IN THE CENTER OF YOUR OVEN. When youre ready to bake, set cupcake pans on the center of a rack set in the very middle of your oven. This will ensure good airflow and help even out heat distribution, preventing overcooking on any one side of the cupcake. If your oven cooks unevenly from front to back, rotate the cupcakes 23 of the way through cooking time.
