Brown Sugar Cupcakes
My Dad's hometown is on an island that specializes in producing brown sugar so I always wanted to try it in a recipe, so why not cupcakes? This is another one in my "moist" baked goods series. I really wanted to combine this recipe with another one, but the instructions would be too long so I decided to split them.
I also recommend mixing sesame seeds into the batter or adding a little ginger or cinnamon powder into the dry ingredients.
[Brown Sugar Coffee Version] If you want a more robust coffee flavour, then mix instant coffee with coffee liqueur. If you just double up the ingredients, it will be too strong.
You can freeze these but wrap them with cling film first. Recipe by Sabumochi. Yields 6 muffins (halve the ingredients for 3).

Cooking Instructions
- 1
[Preparation] Add the butter to a bowl and leave to warm to room temperature. Sift the dry ingredients marked ◎. Bring the egg to room temperature as well. Preheat the oven to 180℃.
- 2
Cream the butter and add the sugar in 2-3 batches, mixing well after each addition. Add salt and keep mixing until it becomes soft and light.
- 3
Add a well beaten egg in 2-3 batches. If you blend the butter and sugar properly and add the egg a little at a time whilst continuing to mix, the mixture should look like brown sugar butter cream, as in the photo.
- 4
Sift in the dry ingredients marked ◎ in 2 - 3 separate batches and gently fold into the mixture with a rubber spatula.
- 5
Pour the mixture into muffin cups 80% full and top with whatever you like, such as nuts, etc. Bake in a preheated oven for 15 minutes. You may need to adjust the baking time slightly depending on your oven and muffin cups.
- 6
Check to see if they're done by inserting a skewer into the center of the muffin. If no raw batter sticks to the skewer, then they're ready. This is optional, but if you like they'll taste amazing brushed with rum whilst still hot. Leave to cool before wrapping with cling film and chilling further.

[Basic Variation] I mixed raisins into these muffins. For 3 muffins, use about 10 g raisins. Add the raisins to the sifted ingredients in Step 4 and fold into the mixture. If you add the raisins after the sifted ingredients they won't sink to the bottom.
- 8
[Brown Sugar Coffee Version] Mix the ingredients marked ☆ together and mix into the main batter after sifting in 1/4 of the dry ingredients. You should mix here and fold in afterwards. The rest of the recipe is the same as written above.
- 9
[Brown Sugar Coffee Version Extra] I think peanuts go really well as a topping for this. Shredded coconut also goes well but you can add what you like.
- 10
[Comparing molds] I tried baking these in 6 x 2 cm madeleine cups as well. You can make about 10 madeleines. I baked them for 10 minutes but as they're made of paper and quite thin, so I did have to adjust the baking time slightly. The brown sugar coffee version should make around the same amount of cupcakes too.

Dark Chocolate Cupcakes Dark Chocolate Cupcakes
Recipe is originally from Pretty Simple Sweet that I'm still playing around with. Butter cakes are nice and fluffy and have a good buttery backflavor, but oil cakes keep things moist. Coffee also enhances the chocolate flavor and I do love baking with sour milk (not the milk you buy at your regular grocery store). Very intense chocolate flavor!

Chocolate Cupcakes Chocolate Cupcakes
I've been experimenting with cupcakes and muffins lately. Here's a very moist chocolate cupcake base recipe.The almond flour isn't for flavouring, but rather to ensure the cupcakes become moist. The cocoa powder should be unsweetened. The bake time is just a reference and will change depending on your oven so adjust accordingly. If you used the amount of ingredients listed for Step 3, each cupcake should contain around 253 kcal. They're satisfying but still big enough even if split into 4 (190 kcal each). They have the same amount of calories as onigiri rice balls so you can eat them even if you're on a diet. For 6 (or 3) cupcakes (using 100 ml muffin cups). Recipe by Sabumochi

Banana Cupcakes Banana Cupcakes
I wanted to make scones, but realised that I didn't have enough cake flour. I tried mixing bread flour, banana and other ingredients together, poured the mixture into moulds, baked it in the oven, and I ended up with tasty cupcakes.If you aren't using a food processor, combine the egg, sugar, melted butter, milk and crushed banana into a bowl in that order, and mix with a whisk at each addition. Add the dry ingredients last, and mix in a cutting motion.Adjust the baking time according to your oven. Recipe by Maria358 -
