Easy Caramel Cupcakes
FAQ
Baking fluffy, moist cupcakes is all about creating air bubbles in your batter that expand in the oven, she says. If you overmix your batter, you collapse those bubbles and end up with a brick-like cake. Always mix at a low speed to avoid this, stopping just as all ingredients blend.
You can do this using an ice cream scoop, a sauce ladle, or a tablespoon. Save the rest of the batter for later. Add 1 teaspoon of your desired filling into the center of each cupcake.

Cake flour is what makes these cupcakes extra soft and fluffy. This recipe uses the reverse creaming method, which coats the flour in a layer of butter and then whips in the air. Cake flour has a lower protein content than all-purpose flour, so it's important to use it to get the right texture.
