Cake cupcake
A cupcake is a small cake designed to serve one person, which is often 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.
Cupcakes are believed to have originated in the United States in the 19th century. One theory is that they were created by American women who were baking cakes in small teacups. Another theory is that they were created as a more convenient version of the larger cake.
The first recipe for cupcakes appeared in an American cookbook in 1828. The recipe was for “Cake Cupcakes” and it called for a cup of butter, a cup of sugar, a cup of flour, and four eggs.
