Brush the warm cupcakes with a small amount of simple syrup. This is optional, as they are already moist and delicious without it. But I always recommend simple syrup for cupcakes as it soaks into the cupcakes, seals in the moisture and makes them extra-moist!
Most box cake recipes will tell you to add water to the mix. Instead, try adding milk using the same proportions. This will make the cake richer and creamier because it ups the fat content. You can even use buttermilk here for a pleasant tang.
Flour is perhaps the most important ingredient in a cake mix, as it creates the basic structure of the entire cake. A major component of flour is gluten, which is a protein that provides a way for the cake to bind to itself. The gluten creates a web that traps and seals air bubbles into the cake mix.
Buttercream is not as flexible as fondant, though it can be used for the same applications. Buttercream frosting is the most popular frosting for cupcakes, though it's important to note that not all buttercream is made the same.
Let your cupcakes cool completely before frosting them: Even a tiny bit of residual heat from a cupcake can melt your frosting, so be sure to give your cupcakes at least an hour to cool on this wire rack before you move on to decorating!
🚨 An easy tip for keeping your cupcakes moist is to remove them from the pan 2 minutes after you remove them from the oven. I see so many people who let their cupcakes continue to sit in the pan. 😞 Use a cooling rack to allow the heat to rotate-so that you can keep those cakes moist ladies.
