I was wondering- having bought some chocolate chip muffins, what makes a muffin a muffin? Is there a difference between a cupcake and a muffin? I tried making some last night but I'd say they were just cakes- delicious but not muffins.

Any thoughts?

Eat the yummy topping first, then if you drop the rest of the muffin...No biggie.

This is the only thing you need to know about cupcacks/muffins.

American types calling a cake a 'muffin' to justify having cake for breakfast.

Yeah - TooTall's right - American muffins are just big "fairy cakes". Proper muffins are like flat bread cake thingies that look like they've been baked in old fashioned Yorkshire Pudding tins (probably cos they are.) Great toasted with lots of butter and marmalade.

I like a muffing with my weekend coffee.

In fact, muffing rocks my world. I'm quite good at it, so I'm told.
More please, and as soon as you like.

Aren't muffins made with a more liquid mix, and baked in bigger trays and cases, hence more moist when eating. My take on it anyway...

Muffins (cakes, not bread things) are made with a batter mix rather than cake mix. Being more moist in content have to be consumed rapidly before they go orf.

Yup - muffins made with vegetable oil, fairy cakes are marge/butter.
