Notes

  • Do not rest the batter - Once all the ingredients are mixed, the batter should be baked immediately. The reaction between baking soda and vinegar is time-sensitive and gives the best results when baked without delay.
  • Toss tutti frutti in flour - Always coat tutti frutti with a teaspoon of maida before mixing it into the batter. This helps prevent it from sinking to the bottom of the cupcakes.
  • Check baking soda freshness - Use only fresh, active baking soda. When added to curd and vinegar, it should foam up immediately — that’s the sign it’s active.
  • Preheat oven - Ensure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before baking. This ensures even cooking and perfect domed tops.
  • Customize with nuts or flavors - You can easily adapt this base recipe by adding chopped cashews, almonds, or a hint of cardamom for a festive twist.
  • Avoid overmixing - Gently fold the dry and wet ingredients together just until combined. Overmixing can make the cupcakes dense.
  • Testing: A clean toothpick inserted in the center of the cupcake is the best test for doneness. If it comes out clean, they’re perfectly baked.
