Cardamom-Chocolate Cupcake

By Šárka Hubáček Leave a Comment

I made those cupcakes on my birthday this year. It was in April, so it took me 6 months to translate it. Well today is the day! I suppose there are so many people who celebrate birthday today or just love cupcakes. I hope it will make someone smiling.

It’s so cold and cloudy outside! I wore my pink trenchcoat for less than 2 months and it’s time for my yellow coat now. Thankfuly it’s not snowing or even raining in Prague. But Christmas is coming in just 5 weeks! Yay! My to-do-list is full of Czech and British Christmas recipes I want to share on tvaroh&povidla (rebranded maly blok) blog and here. Stay tuned for the perfect holiday recipes and mood. 🙂

Did you know first cupcakes were baked in 1796? Well there was the first mention of dessert baked in a cup in American Cookery cookbook. Thirty two years later, in a cookbook called Receipts, you would find the word “cupcakes”.
