HongKong Paper Wrapped Cupcakes

19.12.2016 - HongKong Paper Wrapped Cupcake is also one of my childhood favourite.  Kids just love this cake and so as me! i can eat 3 to 4 in one go! hehe...

Today i share with you the recipe taste exactly the same from bakery, little shrink once cool but still perfect, no cracks, its so aromatic, light and airy, so delicately soft, full of eggy goodness and yummy sponge cake.

However, i used square paper cup to bake this batch because i couldn't find the flower metal cups especially for this cake.  Hope someday could get some for this so as my HongKong Paper Cupcake looks more like the original ones.   

Lucky me, using square paper cups work too!! Look at the sponge, its so so soft and delicious, melt in your mouth. Yummy!
