How to Make Black Sesame Cupcakes Or Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 170°C (340°F). Line a muffin tin with 6-8 paper liners.
  2. Cream together 1/2 cup (115g) softened margarine or butter and 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 1/4 cup (30g) black sesame powder and 2 tablespoons honey. Mix well to combine.
  4. In a separate bowl, lightly beat 1 large egg.
  5. Gradually add the beaten egg to the wet ingredients in 2-3 additions, mixing well after each addition to prevent curdling.
  6. Stir in 1/4 cup (60ml) milk.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/4 cups (150g) cake flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
  8. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a rubber spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  9. Fill each muffin liner about 2/3 full.
  10. Sprinkle with extra black sesame seeds for garnish (optional).
  11. Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
