Sponge Cupcake

Pin It Now!

 

I have several bad experiences on baking sponge cake in mini cups. They are not well bake. Most of them will shrink after remove from oven, like these...

Ever since I have no courage to bake these type of cakes. Since this month Aspiring Baker’s theme is cupcake I read a lot of lovely sponge cupcake in blogger friends post. Therefore I want to have my own success sponge cupcake.
 
I failed in my 1st attempt. Just like previous baked, shrink terribly. Although is not good looking, still soft and edible.
 
Another bake? Yes after few days of struggling I decide to bake again. This time I used higher temperature instead of low which used to bake sponge cupcake.  It works! These cupcakes are so meaningful to me as this is my 1^st success sponge cupcake :)
