a drizzle of pandan lemak flavoring
small pinch of salt
40g top flour (sifted once)
2 egg yolks

3 whites
45g caster sugar
pinch of cream of tartar (optional)

Cupcake paper liners
Cupcake tray

Method
1. Pour the cooking oil, coconut milk, pandan lemak flavoring and salt into a pot.
2. Heat pot over a small flame until you can no longer touch the pot mouth (or 50 degrees). Turn off heat.
3. Stir and then add in top flour. Mix well until no lumps can be seen.
4. Add in the first egg yolk, and then mix well. Then add in the second one.
5. Set aside.

6. Set your oven to 160c to preheat.
7. Line your cupcake tray with the cupcake liners. Set aside.
8. In a separate bowl, whisk your egg whites to a firm peak by adding sugar in 2-3 batches.
9. Stir in 1/3 of your meringue to your egg yolk batter first. Then pour the mixure back into the rest of your meringue and fold in lightly; taking care not to deflate your meringue.
10. Drop 2 spoonfuls of batter into each cupcake. Use a satay stick or toothpick to give each batter a slight swirl to prevent any large air pockets.
11. Pop tray into oven and reduce temp to 155c and bake for 25-30 mins.

Notes:
- Oven temp differs across ovens so please adjust accordingly. For your reference, my cupcakes rose and is fully dome shaped by the 10th min.

Blueberry (Grape) Yogurt Chiifon Cupcake by Janice Looi


Ingredients
2 Egg yolks (55g egg)
12g Sugar / 20g Corn oil
1/2tsp Lemon juice
1/2tsp Vanilla extract
50g Natural yohurt
40g Plain flour (sifted)
1tsp orange zest
2 Egg whites
25g Sugar
Blueberries, sprinkle some flour (I use grapes, cut into half)

Method
Adapted from Anncoo Journal

Preheat oven to 160C.
1 Mix egg yolks, sugar and oil together, mix well with a hand whisk. Add lemon juice, orange zest and yogurt, mix well till smooth. Sift in flour and mix well.
2. Whisk egg whites till frothy, gradually add in sugar. Continue whisk egg whites till stiff peak but not dry.
3. Fold 1/3 of egg whites into the yolk mixture. Then pour in the rest of the egg whites and fold gently until combined with a rubber spatula.
4. Spoon batter into cupcake liners to half. Place grapes over it and spoon remaining batter to 3/4 full and bake for about 20-25 minutes.
5. Bang the baking tray together with the cakes on the counter top 2-3 times once they are out from the oven, as this will prevent the cakes from shrinking.

My NotesThe above is my modified version from the original recipe.
I don't have blueberries, I use grapes (cut into halves)
Uses orange zest instead of lemon zest.
