1. Add More Eggs. To get an extra rich and moist cake, stir in two extra egg yolks along with the eggs the recipe calls for (save the egg whites to make these delicious meringues). For a lighter and more airy cake, use only egg whites (and save the egg yolks for crème brûlée).
One more egg will add moisture, fat, and protein to the cupcake, making it softer and less likely to overbake and dry out. Replace water with whole milk, coffee, or soda. The result is a moister and more flavorful cupcake. Replace water with whole milk in vanilla and white cake mixes.
