- Spray the cupcake liners to avoid sticking, for a cleaner finish.
- Use Dutch-processed cocoa powder, not natural cocoa powder, for the best texture and flavor.
- Fresh baking powder and baking soda are crucial for proper rising, so check their expiration dates.
- For a softer cake, swap all-purpose flour with cake flour.
