Steamed cupcakes with matcha and chocolate flavors

It's been too long keeping a bottle of matcha powder in my cupboard. I searched some of easy recipes I could try on weekend. I gathered all my recipe books and magazines, thinking carefully, choose wisely what is the easiest recipe for me. And also, I think it's gonna be a green tea month in this blog :D

I found this steamed cake recipe from an old magazine. The original recipe is "Three-flavors Coconut Milk Steamed Sponge cake" (chocolate, plain and mocha), but I change the mocha flavor with green tea flavor. Besides, steamed cake in a magazine was steamed in a large cake mold. But I want to make this cake as cupcakes. So here's the recipe.

Steamed cupcakes with matcha and chocolate flavors

- 120 gr flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 75 gr thick coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon cake emulsifier
- 1/4 teaspoon chocolate paste
- 1/2 teaspoon matcha powder

How to :

1. Beat eggs, sugar, salt and emulsifier until fluffy. Shifted flour and baking powder. Fold in flour and coconut milk into the egg mixture alternately until well combined.
2. Divide dough into 3 equal portions. Set aside one portion for plain flavor. Add the two portions with chocolate paste and matcha powder. Mix well.
3. Pour every batter into the cupcake molds that have been given paper cups using spoon. It's all up to you, if you want to make it layer by layer with different flavors is fine.
4. Steam for about 20 minutes on medium heat until cooked.
5. Serve
