For taste add to the dough:

Cupcakes in tins at home - useful tips and tricks

• Who said that butter is better than margarine? Actually this is not true. First of all, we look at the fat content of the product. Baked goods made from 80% margarine are much better than from butter, or rather, an incomprehensible product with 50% fat.

• In order for candied fruits, raisins and other pieces to be evenly distributed in the dough, they must first be mixed with flour, and only then combined with the liquid mass.

• To determine if the cake is ready, you just need to pierce it with a wooden splinter (toothpick, match). If it is dry and not sticky, then you can remove the baked goods.

• Even the most boring cupcake will become more fun if you decorate it with frosting, fondant, syrup and sprinkled with nuts. Or maybe cut it and layer it with cream?

• It is believed that cupcakes do not like movement. And if the form is placed in the oven, then it is not touched until the very end. Then turn off the oven, open the door slightly and allow the products to cool slightly. After that you can take it out.
