Re: differnce
A muffin is any quickbread (mixed by muffin mixing method & does NOT contain yeast) that is in the shape of a cupcake. A cupcake is any cake batter mixed with the straight method or creaming method made into the shape of a cup.
Cupcakes (traditionally) have frosting on top, while muffins have no frosting, but muffins can have a glaze on top. Many people think that the difference is either frosting or no frosting, or that it’s “in a paper liner” or not, but that is a common mistake. Either one can be made with or without a paper liner; it’s just the baker’s preference.
A quick bread (or muffin) CANNOT be baked like a sheet cake or round layered cake because it won’t bake properly. The same goes for a cupcake batter - a cake batter (or cupcake) cannot be baked in a loaf or bun pan because it will not bake properly. But, since both can be baked into a smaller shape, people often think they’re the same.
Other (humorous) distinctions between muffins and cupcakes:
- If you threw a cupcake against the wall, you would hear something of a ‘poof!’ If you threw a muffin, you would hear a ‘thud!’
- A muffin does no](What is the difference between tea cup and coffee cup? - Answers)t look good in jeans but cupcakes do!
