Hokkaido chiffon cupcakes (北海道牛奶蛋糕)

These Hokkaido Chiffon Cupcakes, I know alot of food bloggers have been giving so much good praise for this little sweet cakes.  And yes, indeed it is so delicious and yummy.  And so, why I am so late delaying to bake such delicious cakes?

Well, I have been searching for this beautiful cup liners to bake this Hokkaido Chiffon Cupcakes but at my location there isn't any of this square liners.  So I have to wait maybe one day the bakery shop will stock up these beautiful square liners.  

One day, when I asked Sonia of NasiLemakLover to quote me for special roast pork skewer from her My Kedai Runcit (Shop), she has been so kind to send me the skewer plus some of this beautiful square cupcakes liners to me (about 20pcs) for FOC!!  I was so happy to receive this liners as I have been searching for so long!!  Thank you Sonia, so kind of you!

So the next day I try to bake but I do not know why the cupcakes collapsed so much and full of disappointment.  At least I did not use the liners to test bake the chiffon cakes or else I be more sad.

I have to wait for few weeks later to bake again or else my family is going to "freak" out to eat this Hokkaido Chiffon Cupcakes again.  Today, I present you Hokkaido Chiffon cupcakes, though not very good in looking again but still I give two thumbs up for this as the custard filling is so yummy!

    1. Hello Sonia,
      Yes, finally I got to bake this! I stay put closely to the oven this time with my fingers cross :-). It raise up beautiful but it still collapsed a little after it cooled down. I think the first & second time I baked it must be underbaked and when I take out from the oven, it collapsed right down in the middle. Just like when you bake Chiffon Cake, you need to invert immediately. I will bake again this cupcakes to perfect it. I am still not that pleased of my today baked. (Yours really look so beautiful) But overall loves this especially the custard filling. Thanks Sonia

  3. Hi Mel,
    This is the first time I am here and thought I would share my 2 cents on the collapsing problem. Co-incidentally I blogged about the same thing a few days ago. It happened to me the last time and it was heartbreaking. Then like you, i inverted the cups when I tried another chiffon in cups recipe, it was much better. This time around I didn't invert, I sneak in some baking powder (again learning from chiffons) and I whack the egg white till stiff peak. And it did solve the shrinking problem for me :)

    1. Hi Lite Home Bake
      Thank you for your comments and your tips! In the first place, I was thinking of inverting the cupcakes too but I thought why others can do it and I can't. So I perseverance to try again. Maybe next time I try to sneak in some baking powder like you said and see how things goes. Thanks!!

  7. Hi Chef & Sommelier
    Usually most people bake this Hokkaido Chiffon Cake in cupcakes but if you would I am sure you can do that but maybe try using the tube pan to bake it as a whole cake.
