Dear cupcake lovers
Again, my good friend Fairy Betty stumps me with a q that requires a little research. Well, Fairy Betty, the Oxford English Dictionary people can trace the word "cake" back to the 13th Century, where it was derived from the Norse (vikings etc) word "kaka". No-one really knows who baked the first cake, but it was probably someone in Europe mixing yeast, flour, sugar & eggs to make a biscuity-cakey type of food. Cakes became very popular in the Victorian/Georgian era (hence Victoria Spongs after Queen Victoria) and afternoon tea became the thing to do amongst high society ladies to chat & gossip over. Cup of tea and a slice of cake. Which is why we all love a slab of cake (or a cupcake) in the afternoon!
As for my baking, I am a little behind schedule, but plan to do the peanut butter ones this week and maybe the coconut cupcakes too. Pictures will follow with recipes.
Hope this history lesson helped!
Chat soon
