Notes

• Beat the egg and sugar mixture well so that it becomes light and airy.
• If the oven is too hot or too cold, the cupcakes will not rise properly, so bake at medium heat.
• Bake until the tops of the cupcakes are lightly browned, but be careful not to bake them too long, as this may dry them out.
