Steamed Coconut Cupcakes

Oooh simply love this cute little steamed cupcakes! I spent half of the morning busying in the kitchen churning out these cupcakes and preparing lunch. I immediately ate two of them after taking the pictures as I'm so hungry hahaha...This is a good basic steamed cupcake recipe to rely on. Just throw all the ingredients into a mixer and beat till the batter double in volume! The final result is beautiful bloomed cupcakes without any cracks! The only hard work is cleaning and washing up 😅😪 As I tried to steam the whole batch ie. 16 cupcakes at a go, some of the cupcakes turned out oval instead of round....hahaha really resemble mini dinosaur egg :P
