Beetroot pumpkin chiffon cupcakes


Cottony beetroot and pumpkin chiffon cupcakes. They were delicious with the right sweetness. I barely used 70g of sugar. The sweetness was partially contributed by the nutritional pumpkin.


The kids loved the pinkish cupcakes as they simply looked so attractive and fresh.




I managed to introduce colours to my baking by using natural ingredients such as beetroots, pumpkin, screwpine leaves and carrots. I simply love natural stuff. The colours look real, unlike their artificial counterparts which put me off totally. Whenever I visit any bakeries, I would be somehow "upset" when I see artificially coloured products - Bright green swiss rolls - supposedly pandan swiss rolls, Rainbow cakes etc. To me, these are not real food! This is just me :(.
