As I said earlier, these days I'm crazy about cupcake baking and also because I have so much of cupcake casings bought by my sister. All of the same design and size, I must try to use them so that I can soon buy others. BTW, I don't like keeping too many things in my kitchen and house. My friends who came visiting always say that they won't miss a thing in my house cos' they don't have much to see.
Another easy cupcake recipe where I used pandan paste and coconut milk powder. I baked these aromatic and not too sweet cupcakes in 2 batches with different temperatures. Both turned out well, so which to follow will depend on own preference. These cupcakes can be served topped with icing, fresh fruits or just serve plain.
Verdict 1 - Baked at 140 degrees C for 20-25 minutes. Light crust colour and cupcake doesn't shrink after cooling.

Kimmy, I like your pandan sponge cakes! I reckon my mum prefer the browner top. She feels that the browns ones taste better. I am going to try this recipe :)
Hi Phong Hong, you made the right choice. I prefer the browner crust too cos' the top will not be sticky after cooling. But if there is topping over it both are okay.
Hi Kimmy
Coincidently I have the ingredients in my pantry. Will try out. By the way I am getting a new oven to try these bakes. Which brand is most relaible for a portable one, any recommendation? Thks.
Hi Kim,
your cupcakes always looks soft,fluffy and delicious. Especially with pandan flavour, I love it! So could you please "throw"
few cups for me ? he....he...
this looks truly soft and awesome Kimmy!
Hi Betty, I have used a built-in oven [Elba brand] for 20 years but it's now defective cos' I couldn't find the thermostat spare parts. Fiamma KL never respond to my request for help. Now I'm using a local brand for more than 3 years already, Pensonic [26L] oven cos' they have a Sales & Service Centre near my home. Price was around RM 200. There are a few models. I suggest you choose one with bigger capacity.
Hi Aunty Young, agree it's soft, fluffy and very fragrant. Taste wise is good too. Okay, I'll throw some over - catch it then, hehehe!
Hi Victoria Bakes, I dare not attempt the complicate recipes. But I always admire your creativity in baking. All looks so professionally done and presented.
Hi Kimmy, I like the browner ones ...each of your cupcakes are so nicely baked. Sometimes i have 'laughing' cupcakes (cracked) and need to camouflage with frosting.
Hi Kim,
Your pandan cupcakes looks so good!
Soft and spongy. I am going for the brown crust too. Like!!

Hi Kimmy, I have bake spongecakes using Sonia of Nasi Lemak Lover's recipe and they were very nice. Yours looks just as good...will try when I have pandan juice:D
Hi Karen, I don't mind if they are cracks but I'm afraid that it's dense, oily or too sweet.
Hi Mui Mui, me too going for the browner crust cos' I find the lighter crust ones have sticky top the next day.
Hi Jeannie, I find this recipe quite convenient cos' it uses coconut milk powder and I can bake it anything so long as I have a packet in the kitchen.
