Ingredients

• 200 grams Adzuki beans (cooked and mashed)
• 150 grams All-purpose flour
• 120 grams Granulated sugar
• 100 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
• 120 milliliters Milk
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 2 pieces Eggs (large)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter-sugar mixture and beat well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the mashed adzuki beans to the wet ingredients, ensuring they are evenly incorporated.

Step 6

Alternately fold in the dry ingredients and milk into the wet mixture in 2-3 batches, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cupcake tin from the oven and allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once cooled, dust the tops lightly with powdered sugar for a decorative finish before serving.
