Always use room temperature ingredients for the batter. It ensures the emulsion holds and your cupcakes rise like a majestic mountain.

Starch Retrogradation Reversal
Storage Science
Store at room temperature in a breathable bread bag or paper wrapper for up to 2 days. DO NOT refrigerate, as the cold accelerates starch retrogradation (staling). For long-term storage, freeze tightly wrapped.
Reheating Science
To reverse staling, flick a few drops of water onto the crust and reheat in a 350ยฐF (175ยฐC) oven for 5-8 minutes. The steam will re-gelatinize the starches, making the crumb soft and the crust crisp.
