Steamed Cup Cakes

[RosieB]

Hi,
Lately I keep finding recipes for steamed cup cakes.  Like this one.
http://www.larecetadelafelicidad.com/en/2012/10/steam-cupcakes-apam-dot-dot.html
and this one
http://www.anncoojournal.com/2012/11/steamed-orange-cupcakes.html
or  http://mimibakeryhouse.blogspot.com.au/2012/09/ladybugs-attack-steamed-strawberry.html

They look fantastic as the steaming retains the colour,  But I'm not sure what the texture would be like.

Hoping someone has tried this already.
Or will I try it and report back

[RosieB]

I think I will try them tomorrow.  Too late tonight.
Fingers crossed.

Oh how cute!

[Cuilidh]

They look like fun.  Will look forward to getting your comments when / if you make them.

The children would love these. I hope you make them

They are gorgeous Rosie and no need for icing either so much more healthy.  Puddings steam OK so why not?

Wow Jamberie,  They are cute as.  What a tea party they would make.
Tho for DH and DGS I think I will stay with paper ones.

yummy, I have made lemon steamed cup cakes in the varoma,
those look yummy

Please let us know if you make them.

Those little cups are so cute and being silicone, they should be hard wearing.

oh I adore the lady bugs!!! 
Looked at the recipe, and hadn't heard of "ovalette" or had a clue what it was.....here's an explanation

Suggested replacement was condensed milk.  These are a must do I think

When you have steamed cakes in Singapore they are lovely. Quite light. I think I may need to try these too

So I thought I would give the steamed ladybugs a whirl today.
Getting the batter in was easy, just used a squeezy bottle



but then the problem I thought I would encounter, did happen.  The condensation from the varoma lid, did drop all over the batter, so it really ruins the appearance, and makes the colours bleed





And on top of that, the cupcake recipe from that blog really isn't very good....result was rubber balls, and didn't taste nice.

I think I will try again another day, but with a good recipe & bake them instead.....Who could resist a ladybug?
