Notes
- Gentle Mixing: To maintain the lightness of the batter, mix gently to avoid deflating the air incorporated during whisking.
- Baking Temperature: Bake at the right temperature to ensure the cupcakes rise properly and have a soft texture.
- Customization: Feel free to add flavors like vanilla, lemon zest, or cocoa powder for variety.
