Increase the mixer speed to medium and continue beating for about 3 minutes, until the batter is well aerated and thick.

Carefully fill each muffin cup with batter until they are filled about 2/3 to 3/4 full. If there's any remaining batter, set it aside in the refrigerator.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 20 minutes, or until the cupcakes are golden brown and the tops feel dry to the touch.

Once baked, allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
