Question

Is a muffin a cupcake without frosting? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Answer:

No, a muffin is not a cupcake without frosting.

Explanation:

A muffin is not a cupcake without frosting because of the fact that they are each made differently. You will notice that a cupcake is a more bouncy or smooth pastry while muffins can be identified with a rougher texture and is thicker overall. Cupcakes are made by blending things such as butter, dairy, oil, and sugar together. Muffins, however, are made with less liquid ingredients and have more focus on things such as whipped eggs, flour, baking powder, and such for texture. You will also notice that cupcake mix is usually mixed until thin, while muffin mix is beaten and left thicker (similar to how you would when baking bread) for texture.
