Püf Noktaları

To achieve the best texture in your Citrus & Carrot Cupcakes, ensure that your ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. Grate the carrots finely to maintain moisture, and don't overmix the batter to keep them fluffy. If you prefer a more pronounced citrus flavor, feel free to add more lemon zest into the frosting or batter. Storing the cupcakes in an airtight container will help them stay fresh and moist for a longer period.
