The history of the cupcake dates back to antiquity. It, like many other types of pastries, was very different from what we can see on bakery counters nowadays. Cupcakes were originally baked with various fillings. For example, with dried fruits.
However, modern children are not particularly enthusiastic about raisins or figs. Therefore, cooks and homemakers went further and made cupcakes with chocolate, jams and other tasty additives. There is even a healthy muffin with broccoli and carrots. The
varieties of this baking are many. The lushness and airiness of the muffin remains unchanged. Let’s tell you how to prepare a cottage cheese muffin.
