What To Avoid While Making this Recipe?
- Avoid overmixing the batter, as it can result in tough cupcakes.
- Make sure not to overbake the cupcakes, as they can become dry.
- Do not substitute the white vinegar, as it reacts with the baking soda to help the cupcakes rise.
- Ensure the water is warm but not hot, as this can affect the texture of the cupcakes.
- Be careful not to overfill the cupcake liners, as they may overflow during baking.
