National Lemon Cupcake Day

National Lemon Cupcake Day is a much-anticipated event for baking lovers, who look forward to gathering with friends and indulging in the delicious treat. This holiday encourages us to forget about our diet restrictions and treat ourselves to something special.

History

Cupcake recipes have their roots in Ancient Greece, where cooks mixed fruit and dough before baking the mixture in ovens. This experience spread across Europe, and the first written recipe for cupcakes appeared in the 1796 cookbook of Amelia Simmons, an American. Lemon cupcakes have been particularly popular, thanks to their refined taste. In the 20th century, frosting was invented, which is still used today. Unfortunately, the inventor of frosting has not yet been identified. Similarly, the creator of National Lemon Cupcake Day is yet to be found.

Interesting facts

Lemon cupcakes have many health benefits, such as:

• Vitamin A, which helps maintain healthy skin, reproductive function, and strong immunity.
