Cupcake
A cupcake (also British English: fairy cake; Hiberno-English: bun; Australian English: fairy cake or patty cake) is a small cake designed to serve one person, which may be baked in a small thin paper or aluminum cup. As with larger cakes, icing and other cake decorations such as fruit and candy may be applied.
History.
The earliest extant description of what is now often called a cupcake was in 1796, when a recipe for "a light cake to bake in
wheat flour (without any rice flour and tapioca) with common vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry flavouring, acquired from food flavouring essence. The term "bolu" is derived from Dutch to describe Dutch sponge cake. Thus the texture is soft and fluffy just like tart or chiffon cake. As the name imply, "bolu kukus" is a steamed tart instead of commonly baked cupcakes, and usually the "bolu kukus" base is covered with corrugated paper container, just like common cupcakes.
