Sponge Cake (in paper cups)

I've been baking vanilla cupcakes for the kids and i'm still prefer something more spongy and soft. So, I google and found a good recipe from a blog called Baking Mum. From the pictures, it reminds me the "jie dan gao" that my mom used to buy from the market when we were young.

This recipe is so easy to follow and used less butter (more healthy). The sponge cakes turn out really fluffy and my kids love it so much. I've never make vanilla cupcakes since then....

this is how i lined the paper cups

just out from the oven

yummy....

Here is the recipe from Baking Mum

Ingredients:

4 large eggs

100 gm cake flour

100 gm castor sugar

12 gm (3/4 tbsp) spongecake stabliser

25 ml milk

90 gm melted butter

Methods:

Line 8 waxed papercups with baking paper.

Preheat oven at 190C.

Put all the ingredients except the melted butter into a mixing bowl.

Beat everything on high for at least 7 mins until ribbon stage. This means that if you use your whisk with batter to write an "8" on the batter won't sink in but will appear visible for a while. This will be the right constitency for your batter.

Add in melted butter at this stage and mix in thoroughly.

Pour batter into the lined cups abt 3/4 full and bake it in a preheated oven for about 25 mins.

When done, remove the cake from the cup immediately and leave it on wire rack to cool.



my notes:-

• I always use large eggs for baking (make sure the eggs are at room temperature)
• I use 7oz party paper cups.
• Bake at lowest rack of oven.

Happy Baking !!
