hi mui mui,
ReplyDeletewonderful ladybug steam cakes!
i thought of making them tomorrow. i noticed that there isn't any fat content in the recipe such as margerine / oil / butter. is it fine just to leave it out? i thought of also leaving out ovallete. plks advise. thanks mui mui.
Hi mum2mum,
ReplyDeleteSorry for late reply. : )
Yes, this steamed cake has no oil nor butter/margarine.
It's the ovallete that make the cake moist and soft.
Please don't leave out the ovallete.
Happy trying: )
Hi the ladybugs were well done!! I''m keen to try out for a party. Are you able to share whether the cupcakes will stay soft and moist the next day? How do you store them? Tks!!
ReplyDeleteHi Tulip mama,
DeleteThanks for compliment : )
This cupcakes will be denser the next day.
This cupcake is not the soft and fluffy type. It is more to moist, dense and tender type.
I normally will let it cool on wire layer then keep it in a air tight container. It last for 2 days.
Happy trying.
May I know whether I can replace baking powder with baking soda?
ReplyDeleteHi Vivienne,
ReplyDeleteSorry for the late reply.
I guess you could but you have to reduce the amount to 1 1/2 tsp. The taste will be not so nice I guess but if you can get baking powder it is much more better. The taste is nicer.

Smitten by the cute pic of your ladybug cupcakes, I made the cupcakes today following your recipe. Sadly to say, the result was not very nice. All my cupcakes 'blossomed'..broken into 2-3 parts on top, they looked more like 'hua gao'.. For the 2nd batch, I lowered the fire, but still failed to get unbroken cupcakes. Any advice? Should I reduced the baking powder?
ReplyDeleteHi Yan Ying Lie,
DeleteSorry to hear that your cupcake didn't turn out well but at least it's a edible 'hua gao' .. LoL
A little tips here, try not to over beat the cupcake batter. It's a light medium thick ribbon like flow batter. Use medium lower heat to steam.
Please do hop over to this link
http://youtu.be/MdfVQaGJYTYto see how I make this cupcakes. From the clip you can see how thick is the cupcake batter.
Hope this does help :)
Happy steaming!

Hi mui mui, just made these cuties today. Turned out well from outlook point of view but texture was quite dense and kinda hard. Should I re-steam it the next day or I need to watch out for in my method for future reference?
