Marmite Cupcakes

A bakery in the UK have added Marmite cupcakes to their range.

The cupcake has a chocolate sponge, salted Marmite caramel centre and is topped with rich Marmite buttercream and chocolate ganache.

It is difficult to imagine a more unlikely combination, for Marmite is known for an extreme and overpowering flavour, generated from yeast extract, which is a by-product of beer brewing.

So intense is the flavour and the reaction it generates that the makers Unilever have played this up with the advertising slogan ‘Love it or hate it’.

The product that was to become Marmite was invented in the late 19th century when German scientist Justus von Liebig discovered that brewer’s yeast could be concentrated, bottled and eaten.
