Fluffy Mushi-Pan (Steamed Cakes) - Steamer Not Needed

I made this recipe because I wanted to use up some yogurt and honey. The mild sweetness was a big hit.

The honey makes it moist and the yogurt gives it a mild flavor. For pink colouring, I used hibiscus tea and for green I used matcha. Enjoy making your own variations with cocoa, kinoko (powdered soy beans), cheese, chocolate, jam, peanut butter, black sesame, etc. Recipe by mini

Ingredients

4 servings
  1. 70 gramsCake flour
  2. 4 gramsBaking powder
  3. 2 tbsp☆Honey (or sugar)
  4. 1 tbsp☆Olive oil (or vegetable oil)
  5. 4heaping tablespoons ☆Yogurt (or milk)
  6. 1☆Egg
  7. 1Matcha or food coloring

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Separately prepare the *-marked dry ingredients and the ☆-marked liquid ingredients and mix each well with a whisk.

  2. 2

    Mix the dry and liquid ingredients by lightly folding them in. Tip: Avoid kneading and over-mixing.

  3. 3

    Add the food coloring. Use a spoon to fill the molds to 80% full. (If using thin paper or foil, put a cup or other container inside for better shaping.)

  4. 4

    Steam on high heat for about 12 minutes. Insert a skewer into the center of the cakes and if it comes out clean, they're done. Let them cool.

  5. 5

    If you don't have a steamer: 1. Place the cakes into 1/3 cup of water poured into a frying pan or saucepan and steam, covered, over medium heat. The heat will circulate quickly, so check them after about 8 minutes.

  6. 6

    You can wedge cooking chopsticks under the lid so you won't need to use a cloth to catch the condensation.

  7. 7

    If microwaving: Cover the cakes loosely with plastic wrap. Microwave at 500W for about 1 minute 30 seconds. Check and microwave for an additional 30 seconds at a time (if you overcook them they'll harden, so be careful).

Hi, how are you? I want to ask you something: I do not have a steamer, but you say you can do the same in a pan with water. My question is this: Does water have to touch the cupcake molds?
