    Coffee! I love anything that has coffee in them. :)

    And I am always amazed that you are able to make so many things in 1 day. I tried a chiffon cake and cookie today and that's it - call it a day. :)

    Keep it up Aunty Yo, love reading your blog. :)

    Hi Yochana,

    Did you add double action baking powder? How much did you fill up the cups to get this shape?
    Thanks

    Hi anonymous,

    Take the muffins immediately from the muffin pan to prevent shrinkage. The heat at the side will cause it to shrink.

    Hi Yochana,

    Thanks for your reply, I did not use the muffin pan. Did you add double acting baking powder or bicarbonate of soda?

    Hi Aunty, do you think I can omit the coffee paste and use more coffee powder instead?

    Also is the texture of this cupcake dense or light?

    hi joyce,

    coffee paste is just a thick paste of coffee essence. You can make your own by mixing nescafe with hot water.
