Source : Kitchen Corner

I only use 1/3 of the full recipe, it yields around 10 cupcakes. 

Ingredients

60 gr Egg yolks

30 gr Caster sugar

50 gr Vegetable oil

60 gr Full cream milk

80 gr Plain flour

180 gr Egg whites

50 gr Caster sugar

Filling

150 gr Whipping cream

50 gr Lemon curd

Method:

- Preheat oven to 100℃。

- In a bowl, whisk egg yolks and 30 gr sugar until pale in colour. Then add oil and milk, whisk till well-blended.

- Fold in flour mixture and set aside.

- In another bowl, beat egg whites and sugar to stiff peak.

- Scoop 1/3 of the egg white mixture to the yolk batter, fold well, then pour batter back to the remaining egg whites. Fold lightly till well-mixed.

- Fill baking cases till 90% of batter. Bake in 100C preheated oven. Bake at 100C for 10 minutes follow by 120C for 10 minutes (original 20 minutes) then 140C for 10 minutes (original 15mins) and lastly 150C for 10 minutes. Bring out the cupcakes from the oven to cool down while preparing the cream.

- In a separate bowl, beat whipping cream till stiff.

- Use a straw to make hole into the chiffon cupcake.

- Once the cupcakes completely cool down, pipe some lemon curd into the cupcakes then follow by the whipped cream. Pipe leftover lemon curd at the center of the cake and lastly pipe out the whipped cream.

- Chill in the fridge and it is best serve cold.
