Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute peanut oil with another oil?
Yes, you can substitute peanut oil with other neutral oils such as canola oil, vegetable oil, or sunflower oil. If you want a hint of flavor, you can also use light olive oil.
What is the best way to store leftover cupcakes?
To store leftover cupcakes, place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, you can freeze them, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and placed in a freezer-safe bag, for up to 2 months.
What should I do if my cupcakes sink in the middle after baking?
If your cupcakes sink in the middle, it may be due to overmixing the batter or not baking them long enough. Make sure to mix the batter just until combined and check that your oven temperature is accurate with an oven thermometer. Also, ensure that you do not open the oven door frequently during baking.
