Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Adzuki beans (cooked and mashed)
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 120 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
- 120 milliliters Milk
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 pieces Eggs (large)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter-sugar mixture and beat well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the mashed adzuki beans to the wet ingredients, ensuring they are evenly incorporated.
Alternately fold in the dry ingredients and milk into the wet mixture in 2-3 batches, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Be careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Remove the cupcake tin from the oven and allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the tops lightly with powdered sugar for a decorative finish before serving.
