Source : http://ellenaguan.blogspot.com/2011/05/japanese-steamed-chocolate-cake.html

Ingredients: (makes 7 cupcakes)

85g 70g   Cake Flour (replaced with Self-raising flour coz out of superfine flour)

1 ½ Tbsp Green Tea Powder

1 Tsp       Baking Powder

1 Large    Egg

2 Tbsp     Drinking Water

3 ½ Tbsp Caster Sugar

2 Tbsp     Corn Oil

Method:

1. Sieves cake flour, baking powder and green tea powder together. (sieves at least twice)

2. Using a balloon whisk, beat egg and sugar till foamy and pale (about 5 minutes).

3. Stir in water and oil in sequence then follow by the flour mixture till well combined.

4. Lastly toss in 1.5 tablespoons of chocolate chips. Spoon mixture into prepared foil/ramekins cups that are lined with paper liners.

5. Place the cups in steamerwok (with boiling water in it), cover and steam over high heat for about 10 - 12 minutes(depending on the size) or until a skewer inserted into one of the buns and comes out clean.

Note for improvement:

1.   Will try again with cake flour and reduce flour volume coz the cakes’ texture are not as soft and smooth as expected with self-raising flour.

2.   Need to add in more sugar coz original recipe contain chocolate chips. My green tea Mushi-pan turned out not sweet at all.
