4. Tips for Delicious Cupcakes
Making air fryer cupcakes is not difficult, but to ensure delicious results, consider the following tips:
- When pouring the mixture into the mold for baking, make sure it's just enough to prevent overflowing and maintain a balanced ratio between frosting and cake.
- Apply the frosting when the cupcakes have cooled to avoid melting the cream due to the heat of the cake.
- To ensure even rising, avoid frequently opening the air fryer during baking as it affects the temperature inside.
- To check if the cupcakes are fully baked, insert a dry toothpick into the cake. If it comes out dry, the cupcakes are done.
- If you're not consuming the cupcakes immediately or have leftovers, store them in the fridge for later use!
