Hokkaido Chiffon Cupcakes




Recipe Source:  Mui Mui


Ingredients:  (Makes 12 cupcakes)
(A)
60g corn oil (I used Rice Bran oil)
80g milk
100g top flour (I used plain flour)
5 egg yolks
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

(B)
5 egg whites
90g caster sugar
1/4 tsp cream of tartar

  • Mix oil and milk together in a medium bowl, place it over a double-boiler, cook under low heat.  Stir well.  Remove the bowl from the heat when the mixture turns warm.
  • Add in egg yolks, one at a time, whisking well with a balloon whisk.  Add in vanilla extract and stir well to combine.
  • Fold in sifted flour and mix until the mixture is smooth.
  • In a clean and dry mixing bowl, whisk egg whites with a handheld mixer until soft peaks form.  Add in sugar, in three additions and  whisk until stiff peaks form.
  • Add one-third of the meringue into the egg yolk mixture and whisk lightly until it is well incorporated.  Next, using a rubber spatula fold in gently the remaining meringue in two batches.
  • Fill the cupcake casings up to 3/4 full and bake in a preheated oven at 140 deg C for 20 minutes, then 150 deg C for 15 minutes.
  • Once the cupcakes are removed from the oven, bang the cupcakes on the benchtop once - to prevent the cupcake from shrinking. Set aside to cool completely before piping the whipped cream into the cupcakes.

Whipped fresh cream:
150g thickened cream
14g icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract


  • Beat cream with icing sugar until firm.  Transfer into a piping bag and pipe the whipped cream into the cupcake.
