The term cupcake was first recorded in American cookbooks around the turn of the nineteenth century, referencing cakes baked in individual pottery cups. Baking small portions shortened oven times significantly compared to large celebration cakes in wood-burning stoves. Paper baking liners were developed later to prevent batter from sticking to metal muffin tins.
