A cupcake (also British English: fairy cake; Australian English: patty cake or cup cake) is a small cake designed to serve one person, frequently baked in a small, thin paper or aluminum cup. As with larger cakes, frosting and other cake decorations, such as sprinkles, are common on cupcakes.
A standard cupcake uses the same basic ingredients as standard-sized cakes: butter, sugar, eggs, and flour. Nearly any recipe that is suitable for a layer cake
can be used to bake cupcakes. The cake batter used for cupcakes may be
flavored or have other ingredients stirred in, such as raisins, berries,
nuts, or chocolate chips.
Because their small size is more efficient for heat conduction, cupcakes bake much faster than a normal layered cake.
Cupcakes may be topped with frosting or other cake decorations. They
may be filled with frosting or pastry cream. For bakers making a small
number of filled cupcakes, this is usually accomplished by using a spoon
or knife to scoop a small hole in the top of the cupcake. In commercial
bakeries, the filling may be injected using a syringe.
