dolcetto/tortino dolce da forno


Explanation:
"cupcake" è qualsiasi dolcetto, basato sulla ricetta del pan di spagana, che si inforna in quei contenitori di carta forno monoporzione.
Possono essere al cioccolato, con burro d'arachidi, con crema al burro, con glassa, senza glassa ... prova a fare la ricerca "cupcake" e ne vedrai di tutti colori!
