Mango Cupcakes

My neighbour bought me some sweet mangoes and at that time I was baking my favourite Orange Cranberry Cupcakes. I was excited to try to experiment with making cupcakes with Mangoes. Hence, I replaced orange juices with mango juices and cranberries with Mango Cubes. Surprisingly, the cupcakes turned out yummy, though a little wet due to the mango puree. Many thanks to my lovely neighbour for the wonderful thought.


Ingredients

25g corn oil
35g mango juices
3 eggs (cold from fridge)
95g caster sugar
100g cake flour
1/4 tsp salt
50g mango puree
Mango cubes

Directions

1. Mix corn oil and mango juices together, set aside.
2. Sift flour and salt together, set aside
3. Remove eggs from fridge and add into mixer bowl. Then add in caster sugar and whisk for 15 mins till pale and fluffy.
4. Add in flour spoon by spoon and mix well.
5. Add in corn oil + mango juices and use a spatula to fold the batter till well combined. Do not over mix. 
6. Pour batter till 80% filled and top with mango cubes. Tap on counter top twice to remove air bubbles. 
7. Bake at pre-heated oven at 170 Deg C for 20mins or until lightly golden brown.

Cinnamon French Toast Rolls


I am curious with this recipe as the steps seem to be easy to follow. Instead of only having fresh strawberries for the fillings, I tried with peanut butter and nutella, they were equally yummy with the cinnamon sugar coating. A good experiment indeed!

Ingredients

2 eggs (beaten)
Cinnamon powder
Sugar
Strawberries
Peanut Butter
Nutella

Directions

1. Roll and press on the bread. 
2. Spread the bread with preference filings.
3. Roll up tight and coat with beaten egg.
4. Dust with cinnamon powder and sugar mixture.
5. Bake in preheated oven at 150 Deg C until lightly brown.
