How do you prevent cupcakes from sinking?

There are a few tips and tricks that can help prevent cupcakes from sinking:

- Follow the recipe carefully. Make sure you measure your ingredients accurately, and mix everything together according to the recipe. Too much or too little of any one ingredient can cause the cupcakes to sink.

- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour too much, which can make the cupcakes tough and dense. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined, then stop.

- Let the batter rest before baking. This will give the gluten time to relax, which will help prevent the cupcakes from sinking. Let the batter sit for at least 5 minutes before baking.

- Bake the cupcakes at the correct temperature. If the oven is too hot, the cupcakes will rise too quickly and then fall, causing them to sink. Bake the cupcakes at the temperature specified in the recipe.

- Don't open the oven door during baking. This can cause the cupcakes to lose heat and fall, causing them to sink. Resist the temptation to open the oven door until the cupcakes are done.

- Check the cupcakes for doneness before removing them from the oven. A toothpick inserted into the center of the cupcakes should come out clean when they are done. If the toothpick comes out with batter on it, the cupcakes need to bake for a little longer.

- Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting. This will help them to set and prevent them from sinking further.
