Steamed Muscovado Dates & Walnuts Cupcakes

These ‘Muscovado Dates & Walnuts Cupcakes’ can be baked in the oven or even microwaved. But the result is best when steamed. When soft batter is steamed instead of baked, the cupcakes become very soft and tender. It’s quicker, too.

Ingredient

Food ration :

6 to 8 Cakes

1 cup

Self-Raising Flour

1/2 cup

Muscovado (Dark Brown Sugar) *lightly packed

Egg

2 tablespoons

Canola Oil

1/2 cup

Walnuts *coarsely chopped

1/2 cup

Milk

1/2 cup

Dried Dates *coarsely chopped

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Place Flour and Muscovado in a large bowl and mix well. Break up the Muscovado lumps. Add all other ingredients and mix well. *Note: You can save some Walnuts for topping.

* Step 2

Place some cupcake cases in steamer and spoon the mixture into the cases. My steamer is small and only 3 cupcake cases fit in. It might be difficult to cook all cupcakes at once.

* Step 3

*Note: Because the batter is very soft, you need strong cupcake cases. The cakes will expand double in size, the cupcake cases need to be strong enough to support. You can actually use tea cups or ramekins instead of cupcake cases.

* Step 4

If you have saved some Walnuts for topping, scatter some on top of each cake.

* Step 5

Pour water into the steamer pan and bring to the boil over high heat. Place the steamer that contains the cupcake cases filled with batter over the steaming pan, cover with lid and cook for 15 minutes.
