Cupcake / Muffins

Jeg er helfrelst på disse søte små porsjonskakene

muffins og cupcakes

Ikke bare er de søte på grunn av størrelsen,

men variasjons-mulighetene for pynt og form er utallige!

Jeg fikk nylig en oppskriftsbok som heter

1 røre - 100 muffins

gjett om jeg skal bake muffins i sommer, både matmuffins og søte muffins!

Så i ren dedikasjon til disse små herlighetene

har jeg hentet frem litt historisk informasjon fra wikipedia

for de som har tid og lyst!

A cupcake, or fairy cake in British English, is a small cake designed to serve one person, frequently baked in a small, thin paper or aluminum cup. As with larger cakes, frosting and other cake decorations, such as sprinkles, are common on cupcakes

The term "cupcake" was first mentioned in 1828 in Eliza Leslie's Receipts cookbook.^[1] In the early 19th century, there were two different uses for the name "cup cake" or "cupcake". In previous centuries, before muffin tins were widely available, the cakes were often baked in individual pottery cups, ramekins, or molds and took their name from the cups they were baked in. This is the use of the name that has persisted, and the name of "cupcake" is now given to any small cake that is about the size of a teacup. The name "fairy cake" is a fanciful description of its size, which would be appropriate for a party of diminutive fairies to share.
