“A freshly baked muffin or a creamy cupcake. I love both!”
Even though there has always been confusion between what is what? But as Shakespeare said and I quote “What’s in a name?”. And yes it is true for these mini delightful treats.
They are small portion-sized baked goods, made with the regular cake batter and flavored with different kinds of essence to create a variety.
Now how can one differentiate between these two utterly delicious baked goods? Well! Let me help you to understand this disparity.
| Muffin Muffin batter is denser Muffin can be served hot or cold Muffins have a bread-like texture Muffin contains nuts, cherries, dried fruits, and berries. Muffins can be made into sweet and savory | Cupcake Cupcake batter is light and airy Cupcakes are served cold Cupcakes are mini versions of cake Cupcakes have frosting on top with decorative sprinkles, choco-chips, etc. Cupcakes are always sweet. |
After this enlightening differentiation let me give you a visual treat of my favorite cupcakes and muffins. Even though my baking is completely eggless, but you will truly be amazed to see how appetizing and delectable they look.
