Steamed Black Sesame Sponge Cupcakes


I don’t want to miss NCC Bolkus Event, made these steamed sponge cupcakes (Bolu Kukus) early in the morning for the breakfast. As I’m looking for the recipe in small scale, search thru NCC then I found NCC’s Bolu Kukus 200. This is my first time making this, very glad with the result.

Here’s some modification recipe,
Ingredients:
1 Egg
120 gr Cake flour
75 gr Caster Sugar
100 ml Sprite (or other carbonated drinks)
½ tsp Emulsifier (or sponge gel)

1 tsp Black sesame paste or other flavour

Method:
- Prepare the steamer until hot
- Beat egg, flour, sugar, sprite and sponge gel until thick.
- Take 1/3 portion of the batter, mixed with black sesame paste.
- Pour the batter until half in the cupcakes mould, then 1 tsp black batter, continue with 1 tsp white, and finally with 1 tsp black batter. Fill upto 90%.
- Place it on the steamer and steam with medium fire for 15 minutes. (Do not open the lid during the steamed process).

Here is the look when I covered my steamer lid with the napkin cloth, just to prevent the water drip into the cake.

................ Voila .................
Aren’t you happy to see those smiley sponge cupcakes?
Happy Baking for those want to try this :)

  15. Sonia, Fatmum, HoneyBoy, Alice and Edith,
    Thank you for your nice comments.

    Jean and Min,
    Hahahaha .... when I heard of you said of the looks.
    Some even said remind it of panda when saw this.

    Papacheong,
    Thank you for dropping by and the comment.

    Cook.Bake.Love,
    Something similar, but this more simple to prepare & make, compare to huat kueh mostly use yeast.

    SSB,
    Thanks. I saw some omit that and success too. As I have emulsifier at home, I lacked of confident to try without it. Most important beating the batter .... make sure it thick, not too runny (beat around 10-15 mins depend on the mixer)

  16. Delia and Anonymous,
    Thank you. Hope this below tricks may help:
    - Beating the batter until thick, not runny (hand mixer approx 10-15 mins for one recipe)
    - Don't fill the water to steamer too much.
    - Preheat your steamer until it really hot (make sure the water is boiling) , however, when you steam your cupcakes, use only medium fire. If too big, it will shrink.
    Hope you try this recipe, and let me know the outcome. :)
    Happy Baking!

  21. Hi DG. Miss you so much. Wow, love this looks and surely taste good too, can imagine the aroma of the black sesame.

  22. Nice recipe. Question, instead using Sprite can I just use plain carbonated water? Also Can I make it without the sponge gel? Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Hi Jos, Thanks. I guess you can use plain carbonated water and another 10gr sugar to the recipe. I never try without sponge gel, cause I don't have the confident. However, traditionally this recipe should be without sponge gel, so you may try to make it without it, just make sure you beat the egg batter longer and the texture have to be thick.
    Happy Baking!
