Hokkaido Chiffon Cupcake

I had baked a batch of Hokkaido Chiffon cupcakes sometime early last year. Like Zoe of Bake for Happy Kids,  I too used the recipe adapted from Sonia Nasi Lemak Lover. I was very happy to see a chiffon cake recipe using cupcake liners as I don’t have a chiffon tube pan.  Zoom ! Zoom ! With super fast action ... lined the cupcakes liners, whisked the egg, folded in the whites ... popped them into the oven ... BUT that bake was a 'disaster' ... the cupcakes deflated (almost flat) and I couldn't even pipe the custard filling.

Okay, pick up the courage to bake these chiffon cupcakes again. Well, my 2nd attempt turned out quite well. The texture is so soft ... so delicate ... that's why I quickly stopped pipping the filling as I scared they might 'burst' LOL!


Hokkaido Chiffon Cupcakes 北海道牛奶蛋糕
Recipe adapted from Nasi Lemak Lover
makes 9 cupcakes
3 egg yolks
20g sugar
35g corn oil
60g milk
70g cake flour

3 egg whites
25g sugar

Filling
60g dairy whipping cream
10g sugar
1tsp instant custard powder

Icing sugar, for dusting (I used snow powder, mango & strawberry for topping)

Method
1. Pre-heat oven to 170C.
2. Arrange paper liners on baking tray.
3. Hand whisk egg yolk and sugar till pale in colour.
4. Add in corn oil and milk, mix well.
5. Sift in cake flour, stir to combine.
6. Beat egg white until foamy, gradually add sugar, and continue beat till soft peak form.
7. Take 1/3 of egg white and use a hand whisk to mix into egg yolk batter.
8. Fold in the balance egg white with a spatula till well combine.
9. Scoop batter into pre-arranged paper liners to about ¾ full.

10. Bake for 20-25 mins at middle rack.
11. Beat whipping cream with sugar till firm and stiff (over a bowl of iced water).
Mine is not detachable to use as electric hand whisk.
12. Add in custard powder, mix well.
13. Pipe custard cream into cupcake and dust with icing sugar. Refrigerated before consume.

Fluffy soft texture ... I should have piped more
custard filling !
Yummy ... all gone within minutes! 
We can't wait to have these yummy lovely chiffon cupcakes for our tea time !
Enjoy and have a great weekend!
Thanks to Zoe and Sonia for sharing the wonderful recipe!

    Hi Karen. Lovely looking cake. Believe it's yummy too. I haven't tried making Hakkaido Chiffon Cupcake. I just bought some strawberries and will try it before my children finished up. But I'll need to get whipping cream. Will go Phoon Huat tomorrow :)
