Muffins are a lot bigger than cupcakes and on cupcakes the icing seems to be hard and smooth! :)
More information:
The distinction between American style muffins and cupcakes can be hazy. The product called "muffins" in the U.S. might be called "tea cakes" in Great Britain. Technically, muffins are made with the same batter as quick breads with as little as 2 Tbs. sugar, while cupcakes are made with the batter used to make cake, with a full cup of sugar for a similar quantity. Also, muffins are NOT topped with frosting or icing, whereas cupcakes usually are.
The difference between a muffin and a cupcake is that a cupcake has frosting.
Cupcakes are generally lighter in texture. Muffins are more likely to include chunks of fruit.
Cupcakes are generally sweeter and have frosting. Muffins you can eat for breakfast and are usually a healthier choice
It really depends on the serving size. A cupcake will definitely have more calories gram for gram versus a muffin due to the large amounts of sugar and butter in it (along with icing), but if you're eating something like a chocolate chip muffin which is typically much larger than a cupcake, you could be looking at 500 calories or more for a muffin versus 400 for a cupcake.
Yes it is
a muffin a small cake
An American Style muffin is in a form of a cupcake but its a muffin. When you make them you have to mold them. Bridget Murphy loves Muffins
No.
sonho - muffin was the closest I could get
A cupcake usually hase icing on it because it's a minuture cake CUP-CAKE. if it doesn't, it would be a muffin.
you could but it would probably work best with a muffin pan.
it usually takes 5-7 minutes less, so if you had a box cake and it only had directions for a full size cupcake, this is what you would subtract.
No. Unless you want like a blueberry cupcake. The possibly. And muffins aren't sweet enough to be cupcakes. Not enough sugar.
flanalicious or boobsicle. those have worked for me, in my 36 years of relationships.
Most muffin's should look like a cupcake. There are also English muffins and cornbread muffins.
