Notes

• Always sieve the dry ingredients before use because they allow the cupcake to get more fluffy while baking and they enhance the appearance and texture. Which overall is required for the perfect appearance of cupcakes.
• Do not overmix the batter as if your do this it will create more air bubbles which will lead to excessive rising and then collapse when the cupcakes are cooled.
• Pre heat the oven and muffin tin before  preparing the batter .
• The batter should be lumps free.
• The measurement should be accurate to achieve the desired taste, flavor and texture.
• You can decorate them the way you want.
• In order to distribute the batter equally, you can use ice cream scoop.
• Cool them completely before serving
• Always use the room temperature ingredients to get perfect cupcakes
• I would suggest to use the Riches ON TOP whip cream for smooth and soft texture. This is a sweetened cream that mean you not need to add more sugar. Otherwise you can use any whip cream of your choice but do not forget to balance sweetness if it is unsweetened.
