Soft N Fluffy

Ever wonder how the bakery makes their cupcakes so fluffy and spongy inside? The secret is simple, butter.
Yes, you heard right, butter.

 The texture of the cupcake will depend on how well the ingredients are mixed together, if there are any air bubbles in your batter , then the cupcake will most likely resemble dry hard cardboard.

So, the smoother the texture of the batter is, the greater your chances of success. Butter (or sometimes oil) is used in virtually every recipe. It is the secret to baking, cooking, and it might as well be the secret to life as we know it. A recipe will always call for a specific amount of butter or oil. In order to obtain that fluffy soft cupcake, you will need to add a teaspoon (a regular small sized spoon, not the actual measuring teaspoon) of butter to your recipe. This will allow the ingredients to settle quicker and will allow for a much more smoother batter.

 CAUTION: Do not add more than this to your batter, since excess butter can make the cupcake fall apart once it is cooked, not to mention it leaves the inside EXTRA GREASY. Nobody likes eating a ball of grease lol You will be able to tell if you put way too much butter in the batter once the cupcakes are out of the oven. All of the oil will sink to the bottom, pulling apart the cupcake from the baking cups from the bottom.

So remember, the smoother the batter texture, the fluffier the cupcake!!

But don't take my word for it, TRY IT! ;)
