Notes
- Ensure eggs and other ingredients are at room temperature; beat the eggs until frothy for a light, airy texture.
- Gentle mixing of batter: Avoid overmixing the batter after adding flour. This will ensure the cakes will turn out soft and fluffy.
- Bake the cake on the middle rack of the oven to ensure even heat distribution and airflow. This allows the cake to rise evenly, with the gorgeous domed top.
- Bake the cakes for 20 mins. Don’t open the oven door to prevent deflation.
- Line the muffin pan with paper cupcake liners for easy baking.
