The primary distinction between a muffin and a cupcake is frosting. A muffin has none and a cupcake is topped with gobs of it. So, what do you get when there is frosting inside the muffin/cupcake? A muffincake, of course! Morning Coffee and Afternoon Tea seems to have coined the term with a recipe for Irish Cream Filled Muffincakes. The rich chocolate cakes are made with a combination of butter and cream cheese, which brings an extra level of decadence to the cake itself. Once baked, a cavity was carved into the fluffy base and filled with an Irish Cream-spiked whipped cream cheese filling and topped with a cherry.
Since it has the word "muffin" in the name, does that mean I can still eat it for breakfast?

This recipe looks awesome. Thanks for the write up. When I lived in San Francisco, a local coffee house had cream cheese filled chcoclate muffincakes. In the fall they would have cream cheese filled pumpkin muffin cakes. What I would do for one now ...

Is this a joke? There's just too much going on here that is suggestive. If you don't see it I don't want to be the creep to explain it.
