Hi Lucy
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this recipe.
I was looking through the ingredients and realised this recipe uses bread crumbs. May I know what kind of bread crumbs ...the japanese kind or just those toasted bread crumbs that I can make myself?
How do the crumbs make the muffin different from one that doesn't use them?

Hi chawanmushi,
ReplyDeleteBreadcrumbs ....bread then blend into powder form.
You can just toast your overnight bread and then blend it or you can buy at the store but must be bread not the japanese kind..
You can try making it and see whether you like it. It has a liitle rough feeling because of the breadcrumbs and ground almonds.

Hi Aunty,
ReplyDeleteWhenever I bake my cupcake, my cake will "tear" away from the paper cup. Do you know what cause that and how to perfect it to look as nice as yours attached to paper even especially after they are cool.
Do I have to increasing my baking powder/soda or change to self-raising flour?
Cyndi
Hi cyndi,
ReplyDeleteProbably your recipe has a high content of butter and that makes the cupcake oily causing the paper to leave the cake.

ReplyDeletesorry to botehr you again..
but i need help~:(
i saw this recipe online and hope to try it out..
but i dunno how should i convert the measurments for the ingredients..
this is the measurments that are written there:
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons All-Purpose flour
2-1/3 cups (14 ounces) milk chocolate, coarsely chopped, melted and cooled slightly
and aunty, is it convenient for you to provide me your email..?
:)
HI Michelle,
ReplyDelete1 cup of flour is roughly about 145 gm. For the 2 tbsp. flour, just scoop with your tablespoon, level will do.
For chocolates, 1 oz. is about 28 gm. but we normally round it off to 30 gm. Calculate accordingly and weigh it. Plus minus does not matter at all.

hi aunty,
ReplyDeleteis superfine flour "Top Flour" or "Hong Kong Flour"? Can I use Cake flour in this recipe?
Tks!
