Simple Cupcake
6 servings
60 minutes
A simple cake is a tender and airy pastry that perfectly complements morning coffee or a cozy tea evening. Its history traces back to European home baking traditions when hostesses sought a universal recipe for everyday treats. The cake is soft with a light creamy flavor and a subtle sweetness of vanilla. The simplicity of preparation makes it accessible even for novice cooks. Thanks to the combination of starch and baking powder, the dough becomes particularly fluffy, and the golden crust adds to its appeal. It can be served warm or cooled, with jam, honey, or simply on its own. An ideal option for those who appreciate coziness and traditional flavors!
