- Whisk
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Piping bag (for frosting)
- Toothpick
Ingredients
- 200 g taro paste or powder
- 200 g all-purpose flour
- 150 g sugar
- 3 eggs
- 100 g butter
- 100 ml milk
- 1 tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line the cupcake tin with paper liners.
- If using taro paste, soften it slightly; if using taro powder, whisk it with the dry ingredients.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, fully incorporating each before adding the next.
- Mix the taro paste with a little milk to ensure even distribution.
- Gradually fold in the sifted flour and baking powder, mixing just until combined.
- Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full and bake for 18-20 minutes.
- Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.
Notes
For extra moisture, consider substituting buttermilk for regular milk.
Experiment with flavor pairings like coconut or add a splash of almond extract for a twist.
Decorate with cream cheese frosting, whipped vanilla buttercream, or a dusting of powdered sugar for visual appeal.
Store leftover cupcakes in an airtight container for up to two days at room temperature, or refrigerate for longer shelf life. Freezing is also an option—wrap them individually and place in a freezer-safe bag for up to three months.
