3/8/2017 Deco steamed Cupcakes

Deco Steamed Cupcake
Servings: 4 steamed cakes
Ingredients:
½ cup cake flour (½ cup = 60 g)
1 tsp baking powder
1 large egg
2 Tbsp milk
1.5 ~ 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
1 Tbsp neutral flavor oil (vegetable, canola, etc)


(B) For the details and designs
Black batter: 0.5 tsp black or dark cocoa powder + 2 tsp basic batter
White batter: 0.5 tsp corn flour + 2 tsp basic batter
Brown batter: 0.5 tsp cocoa powder + 2 tsp batter

(C) For the BEAR (brown batter)
Brown: 1 tsp cocoa powder + 1/2 of the remaining basic batter

Steps:
1. Cover the lid with kitchen towel to prevent condensation from the lid from falling on to the steamed cakes (please don’t skip!). 
2. In a medium bowl, sieve in cake flour and baking powder.
3. In a small bowl, whisk the egg, milk, sugar, and vegetable oil together until combined.
4. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and mix until smooth.
5. Put a cupcake liner in cupcake mould and divide the basic batter into the 2 cupcake liners and the brown batter into another 2 cupcake liners. (about 80% full)

6. Making the color batter for piping drawing:
~Black batter – Scoop out 2 tsp of basic batter and add in 0.5 tsp dark/black cocoa powder. Mix well and transfer into a small hand rolled piping bag made from parchment paper.
~Brown batter – Scoop out 2 tsp of basic batter and add in 0.5 tsp cocoa powder.  Mix well and transfer into a small hand rolled piping bag made from parchment paper.

7. Pipe the details using the various colours. Try to keep the drawing in smaller size and lines fine.

Tip: If you really make a mistake, you can use toothpick to help adjust or even scoop out the batter a little.

8. Place the steam cakes on a steamer rack and steam at medium low heat for 10 mins.

Point:
** It is good to place each of them in a holder/container. This prevents the cup from expanding too much, keeping your design intact. 

** Please ensure that the pot is high enough as the cakes will rise when steamed.

** In addition, highly recommend to cover the pot lid with a steamer cloth to prevent water from dripping onto the cakes. It will spoil the design and may cause sinking, or the cake to split apart. 

9. Make the ears of the characters. Pipe the coloured batter from step 6 on good quality parchment paper. I usually like to pipe extra so that I can pick and choose the ears that look good and with the right size.

10. Steam each for about 2-3 mins. I place the parchment paper on a small flat plate or tray to steam on the steaming rack.
11. Using a small sharp scissors, cut a shallow slit where the ears are to be and slot them in to complete the characters
