CUPCAKE FILLINGS

DECORATED CUPCAKES chocolate ganache cupcakes 16 oz Mochiko rice flour 1 1/2 c sugar 2 tsp baking powder 2 tbsp matcha tea powder 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 12 oz (1 can) evaporated milk 3/4 canola oil 2 eggs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cupcake pans with paper liners. Sift together the dry ingredients. Mix the wet ingredients in a separate bowl and fold them into the dry ingredients. Grease cupcake tray or use paper liners, and fill each tin nearly to the top.

Bake for approximately 25 minutes at 375 F. In a heavy saucepan, heat the cream just until boiling. Add the chocolate pieces and whisk until smooth. Allow ganache to cool, then whip the mixture until it is fluffy and thickened. Use as frosting on cooled cakes.

Baking Tip #1: When whisking or mixing, always mix in one direction and in a circular motion. This avoids lumps and bubbles.
