For me, the difference is cupcakes have icing on the top and muffins don't 😂

[@karinhimawari2122]

lol

[@Vishalx01]

Same 😂

[@DiverseKitty]

Yeah

[@nessi777]

That’s what I thought 🤭

[@msr1116]

Although.....nothing has ever stopped me from breaking the law by frosting a muffin. If anyone wants to call a cop and complain, then have at it. When the police show up at my door, lemon iced blueberry muffins will be waiting for them. 😂😂

[@boots4sandy]

I just thought cupcakes were light and airy and muffins were more dense and bread like.

[@shwee1855]

yeap, that's correct :D

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Hi Sheree. Muffins rely on using more liquid than fat to get fluffy. Cupcakes use much more fat and reply on aerating/creaming butter and sugar to get fluffy.

[@rosepinkskyblue]

Thank you so much this helped settle some very loud arguments

[@QueenieMB]

I never made my own by scratch. But anyways I made cupcakes with the DR Oetker Muffin box. Everyone loved my cupcakes. That was ‘my secret’ 😂

[@gtlkthfc6741]

I've always wanted know the difference, but no one gave me a clear answer. I've seen many cupcake recipes made with muffin method(using oil instead of butter, preparing dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately and mix). That makes me more confused.

[@gtlkthfc6741]

@@biggerbolderbaking Thank you for answering, but isn't oil also fat? Personally, I think muffins rely on baking powder for its fluffiness.

Why is the voice different? I am not used to this voice 😅

[@melodyseverything6999]

Muffins can be savory and you can add herbs and or meats to it. It generally has a more hearty and heavier texture than cupcakes. Cupcakes is just cake batter which is always sweet and lighter than muffins.

but making a cake theres different methods the all in one, the aerated then slowly adding in etc, and so on , so isn't muffins just another cake methods ? im really rubbish at muffins

@@biggerbolderbaking can we get a muffin recipe and a cupcake recipe to make out the difference please? Also what parameters to keep in mind while baking both so that they rise well? I mean one has a lot of liquid so what's the science to make it ride Vs the one with more fat and less liquid?

[@nishantmudgal4434]

Why don't we use yeast in muffins?... here in India, I've saw people using "dahi" (type of yoghurt) in the preparation.. Please explain

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Hi. Quick breads don't take long to prepare, hence the name. Raising agents like baking powder is used in them, muffins included. Yeast requires proofing prior to baking, and is used mostly for conventional breads. Hope this helps.

[@pramodrecipes]

They are same only the name is different .

[@nataliecruz1280]

What are some tips for avoiding dry cupcakes?

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Hi, Natalie! Adjust the liquid to get your batter the same consistency as the recipes you follow because florus don't absorb liquids the same. Use buttermilk, yogurt or sour cream instead of milk or water because acid softens gluten and keeps baked goods moist. Hope you find some favorites here: www.biggerbolderbaking.com/cupcake-recipes/

[@catherinew7797]

So cakes can be muffins and muffins can be cake, depending on how you prepare them

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Hi Catherine. That’s one of them. Muffins rely on using more liquid than fat to get fluffy. Cupcakes use much more fat and reply on aerating/creaming butter and sugar to get fluffy.

Can you explain differences between butter based cakes and moist cake?

Butter based cakes can be moist too. I'm a little confused with the basis given for comparison.

Not the same 😊 Basically, muffins rely on using more liquid than fat to get fluffy. Cupcakes use much more fat and reply on aerating/creaming butter and sugar to get fluffy.

[@lesliewarren5066]

[@lisca2866]

Not a very good explanation…. cupcakes are fluffy too

[@IssyCoonify]

that's why she said 'more fluffy'. It has never been said the one is fluffy and the other not.

Nice explanation but whos speaking? 🥰

[@jamesswift819]

Some people like cupcakes exclusively, while myself, I say there is naught nor ought there be nothing so exalted on the face of God's grey earth as the prince of foods....the muffin!!

[@Toe_cheese02]

No hate but the only difference between a muffin and a cupcake is 5 grams of sugar 😭 cupcakes usually have around 32 grams while a blueberry muffin on average has 37

[@jemmaj2919]

Interesting, always wondered

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Hope it was helpful!

[@shwee1855]

I wouldn't concur that the mixing method is an effective way to explain the differences, as there are indeed cupcakes whereby you mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and muffins which are made via the creaming method. I think a better explanation to their differences is the flour ratio in the recipes. Muffins in general tend to have a higher flour ratio, which makes them much heavier compared to cupcakes. The fat ratio in muffins are also in general lower compared to cupcakes

[@biggerbolderbaking]

There are several actually. Here’s another one. Muffins rely on using more liquid than fat to get fluffy. Cupcakes use much more fat and reply on aerating/creaming butter and sugar to get fluffy.

[@zanyzombiegamerroadto2504]

Why do some people say 1/2 cup of butter is 110 or 115 or 120 or 125 grams if it rlly is 113 grams?

[@biggerbolderbaking]

I really don’t know why and can’t speak for them. It’s best to follow standard measurements.

[@robertknight4672]

Maybe in different countries they use a slightly different measurement system. Someone once said there are variations in American measurement system. So even if you do away conversion depending on what measuring cups were used it could still come out wrong although I haven't experienced that. In the US are better comes usually divided into four quarter pound sticks each stick is 113 grams or a half a cup.
