[@JulieBounmasanonh]

I’m going to try to make this. Wish me luck! ❤

[@ZoeyandVFam]

You can do it! Best of luck.

[@del906]

I made this with just a few slight adjustments (adding cream of tartar, not including the vanilla pudding, using vanilla bean paste instead) and it worked great! Had to do it by hand since I had no mixer. Thanks!

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Glad it worked out well.

[@tiarabvang]

Thank you for sharing your recipe. It’s perfect! I was scared but I followed your recipe and my family loves your cupcakes! Can you please tell me which mixer you use?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, glad you and your family enjoyed the recipe. Mixer? Are you referring to type of stand mixer? If so, kitchen aid artisan.

[@melindavang92]

Such a successful recipe. Prefect sponge and soft cup cake. This cupcake remind me of this lady at church that make the best cupcakes but she won't tell her recipe. Finally found something similar and dont have to wait for her cake at church. Super happy since i am pregnant and craving for it. Can I use the same recipe to do cake version? Please do a cake version.

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Thanks for giving it a try and glad to hear you enjoyed it. Yes you can use to make cake, just double the recipe.

[@ZoeyandVFam]

One of these days when I get around to making a cake I’ll try to remember to make a tutorial.

[@mskeri6901]

Thank you zoey❤

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Your welcome

[@lethalunatic]

Thank you for Sharing this recipe! I tried and they were delicious! U think I can put this in 6 in round pans?? How long should I bake them for?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, yes you can do 4 6” pan or 2 tall 6” pan. Bake for 15-17 minutes if doing 4 pan or 25-28 min for 2 pan. Also half way increase temp to 350F.

[@animnasaghanian8413]

Wow, I made it today and absolutely delicious, perfect texture! Thanks! Please share more cake recepies. I am looking for a moist vanilla cake recepie to be used under fondant. Please advise if I can use the same recepie. ❤❤❤❤

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, I don’t think sponge cakes are great for use with fondant since they are “spongy in texture” I plan to create a vanilla cake in the near future.

[@bobbyvang6624]

How did you bake the cupcakes? Did you use another pan and filled it with water? JW cause I will be using your recipe soon and was just curious

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, bake as shown in video middle rack no other pan with water.

[@meeyang17]

How would I use the recipe to make a cake instead of cupcake? Your recipe is so easy to follow. Thank you for sharing

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, Here’s my fruit cake tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3zFe2lnodR4bLc Hopefully this helps.

[@hn9382]

Thank you for your video! How long will the whip cream frosting stay stable before deflating?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Depends on the temperature such as outside summer temp or winter. 8-10 hours at room temperature. Several days if refrigerated. The instant pudding helps keep it stable.

[@hn9382]

@@ZoeyandVFam thank you! I made your cake recipe and it was amazing! The amount was perfect for three 6 inch rounds ❤️

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Yay I’m so glad to hear.

[@Bynn100]

Hi can I add mascarpone cheese into the whipped cream frosting? And how long does the cupcakes last in the fridge? I’m planning to make it 2 nights before. Thank you 😊

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, I’ve never tried mascarpone cheese so I’m not sure. Cupcakes are good for 3-4 days in fridge tightly close, after that texture of cake will be less soft n spongy. First 48 hours is best. Happy Baking.

[@xXxhunniexXx]

I love this recipe and I’ve made it twice so far... but I’ve had the same issue of the cupcakes rising in the oven, but they deflate... and the tops get a bit mushy and the cupcakes always end up pulling away from the liners... they don’t stay full and stick... what am I doing wrong?

[@Qwerty-zl7kb]

Maybe there's trapped air in ur mixture

[@Calcifurr]

Same exact thing happens to me. I tried this recipe 5 times now. All were a fail. So sad :( Idk what I’m doing wrong because I am following everything to a T.

[@ZoeyandVFam]

@@Calcifurr Hi, there could be several reasons: 1. Meringue not whisk to stiff peak. 2. Overmixed batter (biggest cause) 3. Opening oven door while baking 4. Too low or even too high temp. One thing you can do is invert cupcakes after baked to prevent deflating.

[@tinahang8768]

Where did u buy the tool to cut out the middle of the cupcake at?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

I order it from Amazon. It’s available at most craft store like Michael’s and hobby lobby.

[@MeeKaZKT]

Do you know what temp and how long I can bake these at if I want to use 4 inch silicone molds or even just a Wilton 4 inch bake pan.

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, time would vary base on how much batter is in the pan. If it is a deep pan or regular. Bake at 350F for about 12-18 minutes, longer if needed.

[@forevermissed2093]

Can I use this base recipe and add cocoa powder for chocolate sponge?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

I’m sure you can, I have not tried yet.

[@redrose7970]

What’s the baking degrees if I bake into a cake pan instead of cupcakes?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Same degrees but bake at longer time.

[@maychit2110]

What would the cooking time be if I wanted to make this in a 6” cake tin?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, about 20-25 minutes.

[@krisess6795]

Hi i was wondering if you have a recipe for your frosting for cakes?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, yes this tutorial shows how to make whipped frosting. Ingredients are in the description box.

[@payongm]

Love the recipe!! Do you by chance have the chocolate version too?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, not for sponge cupcakes but I do for regular ones. Here’s the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpmbn5dmoJWmm8k

[@payongm]

@@ZoeyandVFam thank you!

[@iyamadonz]

Can I make my own cake flour or it will taste different and will not be soft?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Yes you can make your own cake flour, I honestly have not tried. There shouldn’t be much of any differences in texture, but like I mention I have not tried.

[@Calcifurr]

Hi dear, I tried making this recipe but my cupcakes always shrink and deflate at the top. Any solutions? And thank you for the recipe!

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, sorry for delayed in response. There could be several reasons: 1. Meringue not whisk to stiff peak. 2. Overmixed batter (biggest cause) 3. Opening oven door while baking 4. Too low or even too high temp. One thing you can do is invert cupcakes after baked to prevent deflating. Hope this helps.

[@yahzea]

Is your cupcake tin the standard size or jumbo cupcake size?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, they are regular.

[@vavang7651]

What type of milk do you usually use with your recipe?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, whole milk.

[@justkuv]

What are the recommended baking temps and times for cake pans (round, square, rectangular) ?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi for rounds and rectangles I bake at 350F. 6” 16 min 8” 18 min 1/4 sheet 20 min 1/2 sheet 25 min Adjust depending on oven, you may need to bake 1-3 minutes longer. These are regular pan, not the deep pans.

[@justkuv]

Do you let the cake/cupcakes sit in the pan for some time before taking it out? Do you invert them?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

@@justkuv The cupcakes I usually remove from pan right away to cool upright. The cakes I let cool in pan it was baked in. No need to invert.

[@MeeKaZKT]

How long to bake for with a 4 inch round pan?

[@iyamadonz]

Will this be too soft to use for a letter cake?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Absolutely not, I used for all my letter and number cakes. You do need to be extra careful when cutting/trimming.

[@jessiesostre1756]

What number tip are you using

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, I used Ateco 858 for these cupcakes.

[@laurayang8246]

Where did you buy your non dairy whip?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Smart and final. They have a few options.

[@jameethao4946]

Hello. Do you have a spongecake recipe? Thanks in advance.

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, yes I use same as my cupcake recipe. Here’s my fruit cake tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3zFe2lnodR4bLc

[@ceemay768]

How do you make the whipped cream less sweet?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Add less sugar.

[@Ohhsnaps]

How long do you whisk for when making the frosting?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, sorry I did not time it but just enough to almost a stiff peak.

[@13junie]

Thank you for sharing Zoey! Can I sub the pudding for gelatin? If so, how much?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

I have not tried gelatin so I’m not sure. Sorry.

[@01MAi29]

My frosting was very runny.. not sure what I did wrong. How can I fix it?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Was your whipping cream cold? Make sure it’s cold straight out of fridge. You may need to whip it longer so it’s not so runny.

[@01MAi29]

@@ZoeyandVFam Yes it was straight out of the fridge. I tried making it again and I must not have whip it long enough. It came out perfect this time. Thanks!!

[@saravue8919]

What kind of tip # is this? Thank you

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, tip is Ateco 858

[@hmongcakechannel6522]

is 1 cup cake flour 100g ?? what about 1cup 2T...how much is that in grams thankyou

[@ZoeyandVFam]

I’m not sure since I don’t measure in grams. Sorry.

[@AdamXiong1]

I made these but it shrinks in the centre of the cucpake. Why is it doing that?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Either you overmixed your batter, your oven was not hot enough, or if you open your oven during cooking. You can also place your cupcakes upside down after baking to prevent shrinkage. Hope this helps.

[@AdamXiong1]

@@ZoeyandVFam thank you. Will try next time

[@mialyha]

Is this regular cake flour or a special different kind of cake flour?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Any cake flour should be fine. I usually use Swans Down or Pillsbury Soft Silk since those are readily available.

[@94ThaBeast]

How come my cream melts once I put it on the cupcakes?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Is your cupcake hot? If not, it should not melt. The cream is stable so I’m not sure why this is happening.

[@Beanjuicemom]

My cupcakes feels super spongey and nice! But did shrink a little and had a little bit of a sticky top. Why is that? I baked for about 15 mins on 330F

[@ZoeyandVFam]

It dies tend to shrink slightly which is normal. If the top is sticky bake for an additional minute.

[@Beanjuicemom]

@@ZoeyandVFam should I lower the temp? I don’t want my tops to brown

[@hmongyanggirl]

Will this cake have enough structure for it to be decorate like a fruit cake for special events? And how would you rate your cake sweetness level? Ty

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Yes this recipe can be use for making a fruit cake. You can double the recipe for a large cake. I’ve made this into a cake and showed on my Facebook page awhile back. I would say the sweetness is 6/10, it’s not overly sweet.

[@hmongyanggirl]

@@ZoeyandVFam Thanks! I will definitely give a try next time then.

[@its7sakoura]

I tried making your whipped cream and mine came out with a soft peak. But for some reason, it still can’t hold a form. What am I doing wrong? And how can I fix this?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Try adding an additional 1-2 tsp of vanilla pudding.

[@andromedaletourneau5808]

Will this work with gluten free flour?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Sorry I have not tried so I can’t say forsure.

[@Xx_eeveemocha_xX]

I would like to try out your recipes… but I need help to change all cup to gram…. So I can device it into smaller patch…

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, sorry I don’t use grams measurement much but whenever I do make this again I’ll try to remember to update the ingredients to include grams.

[@malgnoixx]

how do your cupcakes not shrink? i followed the recipe😔

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, the cupcakes usually shrink very little. They should not deflate at the top though. If yours did you may have over-mixed your batter. Other reasons could be ur heat distribution source and if you opened your oven door during baking.
