Cupcakes are commonly served as desserts with coffee or afternoon tea in the United States and some European countries. The term "cupcake" was first mentioned in the United States in 1828. It was a small cake invented in the 19th century that was once called a revolution in the kitchen.

The process of baking cupcakes changed from weighing ingredients to measuring ingredients, which saved a lot of time. Food historians have yet to find the exact origin of the name "cupcake."

Now there are two theories: first, the cake is baked in ceramic baking cups or cup-shaped molds that are about the size of a teacup. Second, the raw materials for making cakes are measured in cups, so they are called cupcakes.

In the beginning, cupcakes were known as so-called "digit cakes." The name originated from the ease of remembering the ingredient measurements: 1 cup of butter, 2 cups of sugar, 3 cups of flour, 4 eggs, 1 cup of milk, 1 scoop of baking soda, etc.

Today's cupcakes have been developed using a variety of raw ingredients, come in different sizes and shapes, and can be beautifully decorated. However, this recipe is one of the most historic cupcake recipes that we know of.

Cupcakes are usually small and delicate in shape, changing the bloated shape and stereotyped taste of traditional cakes.

The bottom layer can be made of different cake varieties, such as black chocolate, yellow original, green matcha, or pink strawberry, offering various tastes. The top layer is served with different types of cream.

Making cupcakes is very convenient because they are easier to bake than larger cakes and save time. Large cakes take a long time to bake and tend to burn on the surface if the temperature is not well controlled.

In Europe and the United States, cupcakes have replaced traditional multi-layered cakes and are now a popular addition to various weddings. Delightful cupcake towers for weddings are a low-carb and personalized sweet option.

The colorful cupcakes sit on the wedding cake stand, naturally becoming the highlight of the whole wedding.

Cupcakes have become increasingly popular in recent years. Today's cupcakes come in a variety of raw materials and ingredients, rich in taste and unique in flavor, meeting the needs of different consumers. The size of the cupcake is just right for one person to slowly enjoy this delicacy and appreciate the sweetness.

Vanilla cupcakes typically consist of a sweet white or yellow cake topped with a thick white buttercream frosting. The sweet taste will quickly grab your taste buds. With afternoon tea, you can quietly enjoy the tranquility and the scent of vanilla alone.

Chocolate-flavored cupcakes are made of chocolate cake with chocolate icing, and the rich chocolate flavor is irresistible. However, the taste of chocolate cupcakes is quite different from that of brownies and chocolate frosting.

When the flavors of two kinds of chocolate collide, the taste of chocolate becomes more fragrant and the taste fuller.

Red velvet cupcakes are a cake with a rich red color and a hint of chocolate. The cake contains a small amount of cocoa powder and a lot of liquid ingredients, so the taste is very soft. It tastes great whether served at room temperature or chilled. Especially when served with cream cheese, it is even more irresistible.
