Paul Hollywood Reveals the Ultimate Test for Perfectly Baked Cupcakes

Celebrity baker Paul Hollywood recently shared his definitive guide for ensuring perfectly baked cupcakes, offering home cooks a simple yet effective method to achieve ideal results every time. In a short video, Hollywood demonstrated the visual and tactile cues to look for, emphasizing that a truly baked cupcake should exhibit a golden-brown hue and possess a slightly crispy exterior. "You're looking for that golden brown," Hollywood explained, demonstrating the technique. He further elaborated on the importance of texture, stating, "When you touch it, it's slightly crispy and it's firm, it bounces back." He cautioned against a common mistake, adding, "If it leaves a fingerprint, you know it hasn't baked right in the middle of it." According to Hollywood, the key indicator of a properly baked cupcake is a noticeable "tension" on the top, signifying its readiness.
