I am sure the palm sugar and coconut milk combo makes these cupcakes 'lemak' and 'sedap'! What smooth shiny tops they have!
With the reduction of baking powder, how's the texture of the cake? Still soft?

Hello Happy Flour,
I made these too 2 weeks ago. it was soft and fluffy, even tho i baked it instead of steaming. however, i found the taste of gula melaka and coconut milk not prominent enough. probably it needs a little more tweaking.
Hi Baking Fiend,
What a good idea to bake this instead of steaming. The taste is fine to me.
hi can i use cake flour instead of plain flour?
Hi Yammy,
Yes, you can use cake flour.
