Orange-flavoured Chocolate Chip Cupcakes




Left office late today.. randomly decided to drop by phoon huat to replenish my supply of chocolate chips and bought a couple of new piping tips.. went home.. nuah a bit.. and decided to bake these.. haha.. really impromptu! i had butter in the fridge so didn't have to wait v long.. and all in all, it took me less than 2 hours to do these from scratch to packing them :) really easy recipe and this is one of the stuff that i'll eat 'cause the flavour isn't rich (i substituted orange essence with orange jucei) so it's quite easy on the palette..

Blueberry Streusel Muffins

pre-baked muffins

the final product!

Recipe from joyofbaking.com

not exactly something i would choose to eat but blueberries were on offer that day so i just had to get some!!

really easy to make recipe again from my fave website.. no mixer required! completed this within just a couple of hours on a Sat morning.. the only "complaint" i have is that the muffin top doesn't brown as much as i would like it too.. and with my white muffin cups.. the muffins look really blah.. BUT i decided to put it against a dark background and wow! the muffin looks really good! super love the second picture :)

Steamed Cupcakes


Clockwise from top left: Minno no Tabo, random smiley face, pacman, cheers

after steaming, the cupcakes pooFed and can't really see the outline of pacman.. hehe..

this time round, i used flavoured yoghurt instead of plain yoghurt.. also added a little bit of mango essence.. and the final product had a very slight tinge of fruity taste to it..

Steamed Cupcakes

I got the recipe from here.

Ingredients:
100g White Wings pancake mix (original)
1 medium size egg
30g Castor sugar
30g plain yoghurt (or flavoured yoghurt like mango yoghurt)
30ml  fresh milk
15g unsalted/salted butter (melted)

1 teaspoon plain flour
edible red food colouring

Method:
1) Put sugar and egg in a mixing bowl, mix well with egg whisk.
2) Add in yoghurt and milk, mix well after each addition.
3) Pour pancake mix, mix and blend well, then add in melted butter, mix until mixture is well combined.
4) Take 2 teaspoon mixture from (3) into a small bowl, add in 1 teaspoon of  plain flour, a drop of red colouring, and mix well. Pour the batter into a small piping bag.
5) Pour the plain cupcake batter into muffin cups with cupcake liner until 70% full. Tap the bottom of the muffin cup 3 to 4 times to expel the air. Pipe the desired pattern you like on top of each cupcakes.
6) Steam over medium low heat for 12- 15 minutes or until cooked.


First batch before steaming:
First batch after steaming:
As you can see, a couple "burst".. I'm guessing it was because the temperature was too high.. so for the second batch, I adjusted the heat..

Second batch before steaming:
Second batch after steaming:
and altogether now...


Close up:
I'm quite pleased with how they turned out.. the texture of the cupcakes were better than i expected them to be.. it was a little springy and sponge-like.. taste-wise.. it was bland.. probably add some flavoured essence the next time..

White Wings' Devilish Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

got this from Melbourne earlier this year.. they have a HUGE range of White Wings cake mixes in the supermarket.. had a hard time deciding which to get.. in the end, i bought a lemon cheesecake one (which i failed in doing.. threw like 95% of the cake away..) and this! Devilish Red Velvet Cupcakes..

Front:

Back:

Super easy to follow instructions and ingredients to add on - milk, eggs, oil and butter.. 

what i liked about this is that they stated it will make 12 cupcakes and it really did! no more no less.. and best part, they even provided the bright red cupcake cases! fits perfectly well in my muffin tray..

so here's how the cupcakes look like after they are out of the oven:

i used a round tip and disposable piping bag to pipe the cream cheese frosting onto each cupcake.. to be honest, the frosting tasted milky rather than cheesy.. it was also not as firm as i thought it would be but it was firm enough to rest nicely on the top of each cupcake..

added some chocolate sprinkles (not included in the box) on top just to make it look nicer :)

the cake texture was alright.. but if i really had to be picky about it, it was slightly on the dry side.. having said that, some of my colleagues who ate it told me it's quite moist.. so i guess it really depends on individual.. it wasn't too sweet too which is a good thing.. but i guess many people were attracted to the appearance of the cupcake more than anything..

i shall try to make it myself from scratch some day! already got the recipe.. just need to find time to do it..

The texture of the cake was really good this time round! it also "poofed" quite a bit in the oven until i thought batter was going to flow out of the mould! added chocolate rice this time round.. this really tastes yummy!
