What is the same between cupcake and cake?

Answer 1

The differences between cupcake and cake include:

• Cupcake are usually smaller and Cakes are usually bigger.
• The amount of batter for one cupcake is far less than the amount of batter needed for one cake (one mix batter can fill about 3-dozen cupcakes).
• The amount of frosting / icing is less for a cupcake and more for a cake.
• If you ate one plain, un-frosted cupcake, the calories would less than if you ate one entire plain un-frosted cake.
• Three pans of cupcakes take up less room (height) than a 3-tier cake.

The similarities between cupcake and cake include that both:

• have "cake" in the name.
• use the same ingredients
• can use the same cake batter
• use some type of pan
• need a coating (paper or grease) in the pain to prevent sticking
• need baked for a specific period of time
• rise -- that is, the batter must rise during baking
• can be plain or have frosting
• can be plain or decorated
• smell good while baking
• taste good
• taste better with a glass of milk
• are used for holidays, birthdays, special occasions
