Whipping Cream Hokkaido Cupcakes

Lately I have been posting photos of the baking projects that I have done in May before the M.I.A period. Forgive me for those lengthy posts in one day. LOL. This is one of the baking project, Hokkaido cupcake that is made with whipping cream and also filled with whipping cream/ topped with whipping cream. It is a sinful treat, since I replaced the milk with whipping cream to make it creamier. >.<

Ingredients:

(I replace the milk with whipping cream)

You also can see the big dollop of whipping cream that I piped on top. It is really yummy although I am not a whipped cream lover at all. A little to me is fine. To those who are whipped cream lovers, definitely a treat for you!

Happy Baking!=)

Chocolate & Mocha Cupcakes w/ Chocolate Glaze & Rainbow Sprinkles

There are two types of flavor inside this cake. Mocha and chocolate flavors. Although I decorate them the same way (which actually is a mistakes, >.<.. I can't differentiate them this way), they still tasted good, fluffy and not too dense. Love this! Lately, I have been using the sprinkles on cake a lot because I found that it makes the cakes look really pretty, and who does not love pretty, colorful stuff. At least not me. =P

Chocolate & Mocha Cupcakes w/ Chocolate Glaze & Rainbow Sprinkles (yield 20 cupcakes)
Ingredients:
6 eggs
80g sugar
85g cake flour
20g cocoa powder
*(10g cocoa powder, 10g coffee powder  for the mocha flavor cupcakes)
60g milk
20g vegetable oil

5 oz semi-sweet chocolate bar
10g shortening
rainbow sprinkles

Steps:
1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Line cupcake liners on cupcake pan.
2. Beat eggs and sugar on high speed till pale and fluffy.
3. Fold in cake flour, milk and vegetable oil. Mix well.
4. Scoop into cupcake liner till 80% full. Bake for 12-15 minutes.
5. Cool on wire rack.
6. Use a double boiler method to melt the chocolate and shortening. Then, coat the cupcakes with chocolate glaze.
7. Then, coat the cupcakes with rainbow sprinkles after 1 minute to allow the chocolate glaze to set for awhile. ( Don't wait too long to coat the rainbow sprinkles. If the chocolate glaze hardens, it is hard to coat the sprinkles.)
8. Enjoy!

*Love this fluffy and "not-dense" texture. Gonna make it more often. Hehe.. =)

Happy baking =)
