Remember that any of the cakes in this chapter make wonderful cupcakes. The muffins can be made into breakfast loaves, too—in either case, just be mindful of your baking time. Adjust accordingly: less time for cupcakes and more time for loaves. Start testing the cupcake or loaf after 20 minutes by inserting a toothpick or skewer into the center—if it comes out without crumbs, the baked good is done. Loaves typically take a full 30 to 45 minutes to cook all the way through.
