The Hokkaido chiffon cupcakes were so tall when just out of the oven. But they shrank so much within seconds after out of the oven.
I went a bit over and piped in so much durian, haha! But this made in soooo good! I hardly compliment myself. :)
Hokkaido chiffon cupcakes are so popular that I can find so many different recipes online. But you may not know, one of the earliest Hokkaido cupcakes recipe was posted by 周老师 who called it 史上最软的蛋糕, which means the softest cake in history. And I found that this is really the best Hokkaido cupcake! Just look at the amount of flour, so little. That's why the cake just melts in your mouth!
