Hilal CupKake Birthday

Cake is not traditional in Pakistani cuisine. The dessert arrived with British colonialism and for many years was reserved for the wealthy and elite. Over time, cake and other western-style baked goods became more accessible and today, cake is as beloved in Pakistan as anywhere else—particularly sponge cakes flavored with chocolate or vanilla. This vanilla cupcake features a soft, delicate crumble filled with a sweet, creamy vanilla center. It’s the perfect treat to snack on alongside a cup of hot tea, plus its convenient packaging means you don’t need a special occasion to enjoy this personal-sized cake. When Hilal launched this Birthday CupKake in 2012, it was considered to be Pakistan’s first ever cream-filled cupcake.
