Here’s the newer and upgraded version of Vanilla Chiffon Cupcakes (Tang Mian Method) with Meringue Buttercream. The previous recipe involved warming the oil before mixing with the flour. And this time I’ve totally ditched this process. Compared to the traditional mixing method, this method in which the egg yolks are incorporated during the last stage results in cupcakes with a more delicate texture. This recipe is good for both cupcake and cake layers (refer to my other blog post, Chestnut Cake with Fresh Fruits for detailed instructions). For chocolate flavour, check out Chocolate Chiffon Cupcakes (2) for the recipe.
這是燙麵法雲尼拿戚風杯子蛋糕配蛋白奶油霜的2.0進化版本，之前的使用暖油燙麵，但現在巳將過程簡化省卻此步驟。有些人把進化版本的方法稱為“後蛋法”，EC覺得此做法的蛋糕質地較一般的綿密，氣孔亦十分小。除了製作杯子蛋糕外，此食譜也非常適合製作蛋糕底(製作詳情可參考鮮果栗子忌廉蛋糕)，若要製作朱古力口味的話則可參考朱古力戚風杯子蛋糕(2)。
I’ve also made slight adjustments for the buttercream. I sort of play around with the speed to make the buttercream texture more airy. It’s important to reduce the mixing speed at the end to minimize air bubbles though. Skipping this step will make your buttercream full or large bubbles that, when popped, create a crater-like appearance on the surface of the buttercream. You won’t be able to see them from afar. but they will be quite visible if you look at the cupcake closely (especially if the popping happens at the edge of the piped buttercream as the edge will look ragged). So please don’t ignore this extra process as this will make your buttercream look much smoother.
蛋白奶油霜方面，這次其實也是進化版本，新的做法是使用高速把奶油霜進一步打發，繼而做出更加輕盈的口感。值得注意的是，在末段時必須把速度降低，把氣泡進一步打細，不然擠花時會容易有凹下去的圓形紋路， 這些小洞洞遠觀是看不到的，但湊近一看的話就會很清楚，(若大氣泡爆破的位置在擠好花的奶油霜的邊緣還會造成凹下去的鋸齒狀！)所以請花點時間認真地把大氣泡打細，令奶油霜在擠花後外觀更順滑。
This is not the first time I shared my cupcake and buttercream recipes so I didn’t bother taking pictures. For pictures, please visit the above mentioned blog posts.
類似的杯子蛋糕和奶油霜做法已經分享過不止一次了，所以今次EC也沒有特別拍照。要看照片的話請參考上述的食譜連結。

Directions 做法
For the Cupcakes 杯子蛋糕
Line cupcake pan with paper liners. Preheat oven to 300ºF/150ºC.
杯子蛋糕模內放紙模，焗爐預熱300ºF/150ºC。
Combine flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir in oil with a spatula to form a smooth paste. Stir in milk and vanilla until incorporated. Stir in egg yolks to form a smooth, glossy and somewhat slimy batter. The texture will look different than one made with the traditional method.
麵粉和鹽放鋼盆中拌勻，加入油以膠刮攪拌成順滑麵糊，加入牛奶和雲尼拿油攪匀，之後加入蛋黃攪拌均勻，此時蛋黃糊應光滑無顆粒並呈史萊姆般流動狀態，跟傳統做法的蛋黃糊不一樣。
In another impeccably clean mixing bowl, whip egg whites and vinegar with a hand mixer using medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar in batches and continue beating until glossy and firm peaks form. Change to low speed to minimize the air bubble size toward the end of the beating stage. When you lift up the whisk, the peak will hold its straight and pointy shape but the tip will fall back only very slightly.
把蛋白和醋放在另一乾淨的鋼盆中，使用電動打蛋器中高速打至蛋白組織變細密，分次加糖打至有光澤及企身(末段用慢速慢慢把氣泡打細)，蛋白霜拉起時尾巴短小而末端僅輕微下垂狀。
Add one third of the meringue to the yolk batter and fold with a whisk to lighten. Add mixture back to the meringue and fold gently and thoroughly first with a whisk then with a spatula until homogeneous. Bang the mixing bowl against the countertop several times to release large air bubbles. Divide batter evenly among liners (I use a spring loaded ice cream scoop). Gently shake the pan to level the batter if necessary.
將三分一蛋白霜混入蛋黃糊中用蛋拂充份拌勻，再倒回蛋白霜中，先用蛋拂以切拌方法拌至差不多顏色均一，再轉用膠刮輕手以切拌方法刮清盆邊和盆底，徹底混合至顔色均一，將鋼盆往桌上敲幾下敲出大氣泡，將麵糊平均分配放入紙模中(EC用彈弓手柄雪糕勺)，將模具輕搖幾下晃平表面。
Place the cupcake pan on a baking sheet to weaken the heat source from the lower baking element. Bake in the 300ºF/150ºC preheated oven for 10 minutes. Open the oven door and lightly mist the cupcake surface with a spray bottle. Close the oven door and continue to bake for 30 to 35 minutes more until the cupcakes feel firm to the touch. All ovens are different so adjust baking time accordingly.
將杯子蛋糕模放在一個焗盆上減低底火，放入已預熱300ºF/150ºC的焗爐焗10分鐘，之後小心打開焗爐門往杯子蛋糕表面輕輕噴水，關門繼續多焗30至35分鐘左右，直至用手輕按杯子蛋糕表面時感覺結實，各家焗爐有别，請自行依杯子蛋糕狀況調節時間。
Remove from the oven and bang the pan against the countertop several times to release hot air. Cool in pan for 5 minutes then transfer cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely. Store cupcakes in an airtight food container and let rest for a couple of hours until the surface of the cupcakes becomes soft.
出爐後把模往桌上大力敲一兩下震出熱空氣，待五分鐘後可將杯子蛋糕取出移到冷卻架上完全放涼，把杯子蛋糕放在密封食物盒內保存數小時靜待表皮回軟。
For the Ganache FIlling 朱古力軟心
Heat cream in the microwave to almost a boil. Place chocolate pieces in the hot cream and let sit for 2 minutes before stirring. Mix until the chocolate is melted and mixture looks glossy. Stir in softened butter until well incorporated. Mixture should be smooth and glossy. Cover with plastic wrap and let cool until mixture has thickened to a condensed milk consistency before using.
將淡忌廉用微波爐加熱至邊緣冒泡後取出，加入朱古力靜置兩分鐘後攪拌至朱古力溶化和有光澤，加入軟化牛油拌至順滑有光澤，用保鮮紙蓋好，放涼至像煉奶般稠度才使用。
For the Meringue Buttercream 蛋白奶油霜
Stir together the powdered egg white and icing sugar. Stir in water and set aside for 5 minutes, breaking up any lumps if necessary. With a hand mixer, whip mixture with medium speed until it forms glossy and firm peaks.
鋼盆內放蛋白粉和糖霜拌勻，加水拌勻後靜置五分鐘，若有顆粒可先弄散，用電動打蛋器中速打發成挺身和有光澤的蛋白霜，備用。
Place butter and salt in a separate mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until fluffy. Add meringue into the bowl of butter in three additions, beating well after each addition. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl with a spatula if needed. Add vanilla and whipping cream and beat with low speed until blended. For a more airy texture, beat with medium high speed for about 3 minutes then switch to the lowest speed and continue beating for another 3 minutes to minimize air bubbles. If the buttercream starts to soften due to the heat from the beater motor, place the mixing bowl in the refrigerator for 5 minutes before continuing. Beat in food colouring if needed.
將牛油和鹽放在另一鋼盆用電動打蛋器或坐枱式攪拌器(使用攪拌槳配件)打至鬆發，分三次把蛋白霜加進牛油中打勻，每次拌勻後才添加另一次，有需要時可用膠刮清理盆底及盆邊，加入雲尼拿油和淡忌廉先用低速攪拌至完全混合， 轉用高速打發三分鐘左右混入更多空氣令蛋白霜口感更加幼滑輕盈，然後轉用最低速攪拌三分鐘把大氣泡打細，器材運作時摩打發熱容易導致蛋白霜變軟身，若出現此情況可先把鋼盆放雪櫃降溫五分鐘才繼續進行打發， 若要調色可拌入色膏打勻。
To Assemble 組裝
Use a cupcake corer to remove the middle part of the cupcake and use a knife to trim off the base. Place chocolate ganache into a piping bag. Snip off the corner and fill each cupcake cavity with 8 g of ganache or until almost full. Place the top part back on. Repeat with other cupcakes.
Fill the hole with chocolate ganache until 4/5 full then cover with the top, flat part of the cone. Repeat until all cupcakes are filled.
將蛋糕去芯器剖開杯子蛋糕中央頂部，取出蛋糕塊並切掉底部一半， 把朱古力軟心放在唧花袋中，剪掉一角後把軟心朱古力注入杯子蛋糕中央至八分滿(約8克左右)，蓋回蛋糕塊，重複將朱古力醬注入所有杯子蛋糕內。
Spoon buttercream into a large piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe a rosette onto each completely cooled cupcake. Serve at room temperature.
把奶油霜放入已備大號星形花嘴的唧袋，把奶油霜逐一唧在已完全放涼的杯子蛋糕上，杯子蛋糕需室溫食用。
