SPICE DECOCTION

DRY INGREDIENTS AND COQUITO MIX

8. Now you are ready to add the dry and wet ingredients. Alternating flour mixture and Coquito mix add and pulse until all is incorporated. Do not over beat for fluffy cupcakes ( if you over beat the batter, the cupcakes  will turn out dense and heavy)
