Hi Yochana, thank you for sharing this recipe which I'll try during the weekend. I tried your butter cake recipe and it was delicious. It gives me sufficient confidence to bake a few butter cakes for the old folks home tea break.
Once again, thank you.

Hi Yochana,

I'm new to baking. May i ask what do you mean by cool on wire rack?

Hi Yochana, my cup cakes didn't look fluffy inside although cakes did rise. Inside is a bit wet looking...did I beat the mixture too much after I added the yoghurt? Thank you.

Hi Aunty,

I'm new to baking...
May I know what is grated Lemon rind? Is there any substitute for this?

Hi Julie,

use a grater and grate the skin of a lemon. You can substitute with oranges.

Hi Yochana

If I use this recipe to bake a whole cake instead, may I know what is the size of the baking tin ?

Thanks.

Hi Aunty,
I baked this yesterday. However,
upper layer is dry but middle is moist and dense, not fluffy at all.

Also although the cupcake rose in the oven it sank when cooled.

Here's what I've done:
1) Baking powder: single action type
2) Castor sugar: reduced to 120gm
3) Flour: 100gm all-purpose + 80gm cake flour
4) Reduced temperature to somewhere around 168C after about 15min as the top was cracked and turning brown.
5) Total baking time was about 20min. Skewer came out clean.

Where have I gone wrong? Did I overbeat?
Appreciate your advice please .

Thanks,
Irene

Hello Yochana,
I was browsing through your website and found this Yogurt cupcakes. I can't resist the temptation so I tried it in my kitchen. Love it! I made some adjustments according to what I have in my kitchen and I blogged about it too. Hope you don't mind.
Thank you for sharing your delicious recipe and your cakes are inspirational.
