Classic cupcakes
Description
Cupcakes — (from English "cupcake") "cup cake" — tender sponge cake with beautifully piped frosting on top. They are usually baked in paper liners and served right in them. Cupcakes are quick and easy to prepare, and your imagination will allow you to decorate each of these miniature cakes in an impressive way. Have fun in the kitchen! Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.

Step 6
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Divide the batter into cupcake molds. I recommend placing paper liners into a metal or silicone pan to prevent them from losing their shape. Bake the cupcakes for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
