I\u2019m often tasked with baking for various get-togethers and events, and cupcakes are a convenient way for me to provide dessert for a larger number of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to all of the experience I\u2019ve had making cupcakes, I\u2019ve learned with time more than a few ways to ensure that my cupcakes are moist and fluffy when they\u2019re done baking.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n And since I\u2019m human and was a rookie baker at one point, I\u2019ve also discovered many ways to fix cupcakes when they come out of the oven in a less-than-ideal state, especially if their flaw is that they\u2019re dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While the lessons I\u2019ve learned while baking came at the cost of some blunders and frustrations, I\u2019m glad that I can now help you fix and avoid making the same mistakes that I did!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why did my cupcakes turn out dry?<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a whole, cupcakes are dry when mistakes are made with your batter or when they’re baked for too long. Common mistakes that can occur when preparing cupcake batter include not whipping enough air into your butter or over-mixing your ingredients. Overbaking can also contribute to dry cupcakes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ve had my fair share of failed cupcakes throughout the first few years of my baking journey and are the reasons why:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Generally speaking, cupcakes may be dry because you over-baked them. If you rely on just inserting a toothpick to know when your cupcakes are done, you can make them dry if you bake them until the toothpick is completely clean. Fully-baked moist cupcakes may still have a few crumbs on the toothpick.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Over-baking my cupcakes is something I did regularly when I was first starting to bake because I was relying on the toothpick method to know when they were done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While this method is helpful, when done incorrectly, it leads to some ruined treats.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s commonly said that fully-baked goods will have a clean toothpick when this method is used, and that is correct, but what should really be said is that fully-baked and dry treats will have a toothpick that\u2019s clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n5 Reasons Why Your cupcakes turned out dry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
