steamed matcha cupcakes

Meet Momo, my cousins' pet Cat. So adorable! He's so friendly and affectionate :) Totally opposite to my cat Honey. She's such a little snob! LOok at her below lying beside a knife :s

I had stumbled upon this recipe, and thought steamed cupcakes would be something different i could try. They are really healthy compared to the standard butter sugar flour cupcake recipes, and not that satisfying but i still enjoyed snacking on these.

I made these at my cousin Joanne's house, the recipe below is dead simple, you could also use silicone cupcake holders, just lightly spray them with oil before use.

Ingredients (makes ±6):
125g cake flour (i used plain flour)
90g castor sugar
1 tbsp matcha
125ml water
*1 tsp baking powder
*15ml cold water

Methods:

1. Preheat steamer.
2. Sift together flour and matcha, then mix well with sugar in a mixing bowl.
3. Gradually add in water and whisk until sugar is dissolved.
4. Once the steamer is preheated, dissolve baking powder with 15ml water in a small cup.
5. Stir baking powder solution into batter and mix well.
6. Transfer batter into small bowls or moulds lined with paper cases.
7. Steam on high for 20 minutes. DO NOT open the steamer during steaming process, to prevent water mark on the surfaces.
