💡 Tips for Perfect Milk Cupcakes
-
Use room-temperature eggs: They whip up better, giving your cupcakes a fluffier texture.
-
Warm milk — not hot: Overheated milk can scramble the eggs when mixed in. Aim for about body temperature (100°F / 38°C).
-
Avoid overbaking: These cupcakes should be soft and tender. Check for doneness at 18 minutes — if the tops spring back lightly, they’re ready.
-
Storage: Store unfrosted cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate frosted ones for up to 5 days.
-
Freezing tip: You can freeze the unfrosted cupcakes for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving or frosting.
✨ Variations to Try
-
Chocolate Milk Cupcakes: Replace 2 tablespoons of flour with cocoa powder and top with a chocolate milk glaze.
-
Honey Milk Cupcakes: Add 2 tablespoons of honey to the batter for a natural, floral sweetness.
-
Coconut Milk Cupcakes: Substitute half of the milk with coconut milk for a tropical twist.
-
Cinnamon Milk Cupcakes: Add ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon for a cozy, warm flavor profile.
❤️ Final Thoughts
