For a richer flavor, try using browned butter instead of softened butter. To make cupcakes, line a muffin tin with cupcake liners and bake for 18-20 minutes. If you don't have a 9-inch square pan, you can use two 8-inch round cake pans. Reduce baking time by 5-10 minutes. Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for a smoother batter. Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake.
