A muffin (commonly known in Spanish as a magdalena, panquecito, ponquecito, ponqué, cup or cake) is a pastry product made with sweet bread and other ingredients, especially sweets. Baked in custom molds, they have a cylindrical base and a wider surface, shaped like a mushroom. The bottom part is usually wrapped with special confectionery paper or aluminum, and although their size can vary, they have a diameter smaller than that of the palm of an adult person.
The muffin is similar to the cupcake but it is a different food, because it has a less sweet taste and has other types of preparation, ingredients and flavors of all kinds. It is usually consumed for breakfast or a snack.
