Hokkaido Chiffon Cupcakes 北海道戚风杯蛋糕

I've seen many bakers made this popular Hokkaido Chiffon Cupcakes around the blogospheres and on Facebook but I've yet to try it at least once. So happened that Fion asked me to join her Best Recipe for Everyone in December and the theme is My Little Cupcakes. I gladly agree to bake this Hokkaido Chiffon Cupcakes and as requested, I'm putting up the post today. This recipe was first shared by Sonia of Nasi Lemak Lover and have received many good reviews. The method of making this soft and light cupcake is exactly the same as an ordinary chiffon cake.  Then you'll have to pipe some custard cream into the center of the cake, chill it and then serve. I didn't make the custard cream as I didn't have anymore dairy whipping in my fridge. Instead I replaced it with non-dairy whipping cream and mixed in 2 tablespoons of yuzu jam. The end result was equally good. The cream had the citrusy of the yuzu jam and yuzu peels. Very refreshing indeed and as the cake was chilled, it was just absolutely yummy!
