Jam-filled cupcakes are a delicate treat of European cuisine, where classic dough is complemented by sweet fruit filling. Their history traces back to old home recipes, where baked goods with surprises inside symbolized care and warmth.

They are perfect for morning coffee or evening tea, creating a cozy atmosphere and enjoyment in every bite.
