The Origin of Cup Cake – Food Variety 8

Wednesday, January 13, 2021

 

Three cup cakes with 3 different decorations.


Honestly, I just realized lately that there is different between two similar form of cakes:

- muffin

- cup cake


It is said that a cup cake is the perfect dessert for lunch or dinner. Its small size is created to serve for one person.


Like other larger cakes, cup cakes are decorated with many items, just for examples:

- fresh fruit

- candy

- chocolate

- ganache

- sugar cage

- caramel ribbons


Similar cup cakes on the table.


I just read from some sources, standard ingredients are used to bake cup cakes includes:

- butter

- sugar

- flour

- eggs


Historically, the cup cake has been consumed in America since 1796 or might be early, more than 200 years ago.


Its name originally was 1234 cakes or called as the number cake, refer to portions of its four basic well known ingredients:

- 1 cup of butter

- 2 cups of sugar

- 3 cups of flour

- 4 eggs


In addition to four basic, people may use other two ingredients:

- 1 cup of milk

- 1 spoon of soda


Which one do you like: cup cakes or muffin?

  2. Muffins are better for me. Love a good cornbread muffin ..not too sweet with beans. Great way to keep those bananas from going bad with a banana muffin for breakfast.

  6. I had no idea cupcakes were around for this long. Muffins are often made with better ingredients (who grains, fruit, nuts) etc, but also tend to have more carbs. I will eat both, in moderation.

  7. I love both!! I have never left one go bye without tasting it! I have made so many cupcakes for my Granddaughters, ie, birthday parties, school parties! But I love to have a good muffin for breakfast, plus a good way to use up those bananas!
