Matcha Green Tea Mini Cakes With Raspberries from Anne’s Kitchen whilst hunting for a plain (undecorated) matcha cupcake recipe.
Anne uses a canelé mould to give her cakes a fluted shape. I wasn’t familiar with canelés so I had a Google. I learned that they’re a classic French pastry flavoured with rum; chewy on the outside and custardy in the middle. I then searched for a canelé mould and fell down a rabbit hole. Typically canelés are made in copper moulds but non-professional bakers can get good results with silicone. I opted for De Buyer Elastomoule as the silicone has metal powders, which help with heat conduction to give the canelés get their crisp outer crust. They aren’t cheap but because I’m now desperate to make canelés I’m happy to invest.
Anyway, back to the matcha cakes, which are lovely. They're just the right amount of sweet for me, with the almonds and raspberries complementing the matcha. The De Buyer moulds worked brilliantly; the cakes popped out, looked really pretty and cleaning was a doddle. An ordinary muffin tin will work just as well though.
