Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your mini muffin tin lightly. In a bowl, I combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisking these dry ingredients together really helps prepare the mixture and ensures your cakes rise beautifully. Then, I set this aside to focus on the wet ingredients.
