These types of small cakes, which originated in the United States in the 19th century, have become popular in Latin America with small variations in their ingredients and flavor. In different Latin American countries, these muffins may have similar names such as "magdalenas" in Mexico or "queques" in Chile, although the recipe and texture may vary slightly depending on the region and culinary traditions.
