Hi Elaine,
I’m glad to have come across this recipe. I remember eating these cakes and the steamed ones as a child. I found a recipe in a book ages ago, but the cakes did not turn out. Their instructions were not very detailed. Your video and explanation will make a big difference. I can’t wait to make these cupcakes. I have a couple of questions. Can I use 4 large eggs instead of 4 medium eggs. Can I use regular sugar instead of castor sugar. Thank you for response.

In reply to Amanda. This is normal. Use a spatula to stir continuously so that it can flow.

The moment I added the flour my egg mixture deflated. Is this normal? It went from big and fluffy and puffy to dense in moments

In reply to lucy c. Hi,lucy Cake flour is lower protein flour, comparing than APF. It is widely used in baking because of its lighter and softer texture. If you don't have it on hand, you can substitute it by using a mixture of all-purpose flour and cornstarch

Can I respectfully point out that you sift flour not shift it.

What is ‘cake flour’ in everyday language (never come across this term)?
Is it plain flour or self raising flour?
