Roselle Cupcakes 洛神花杯子蛋糕
I’ve never heard of or seen Roselle (洛神花) before not until when I saw some of my blogger friends who used the fresh Roselle to make into jelly many months back. I was so eager to try this new ingredient at that time but unfortunately I couldn’t get the fresh ones from the market. Just one week ago as I was walking along Bugis Street, I saw a shop in Fu Lu Shou building basement, selling preserved dried Roselle . I was allowed to sample a little and immediately fell in love with it. The Roselle is not only sweet and sour, it is also crunchy and the price is reasonable, around two dollars for 200 gram. Besides snacking, I also added them in the cupcakes. The preserved dried Roselle tasted like dried cranberry in the cupcakes and you can still taste its crunchiness. Don’t you think it is also nice to go with a cup of Roselle tea as well? 🙂

I am fr KL Malaysia, may I know where I can order this plant and where can I buy the preserve onw so that I can try out this recipe?
Thank you
Ann you always have the most beautiful desserts. Thank you for being a part of the YBR this month:)
Whenever I spot roselle in the wet market , I sure buy some to make syrup, and my son like to add the syrup with Sprite. I never came across dried roselle before, it is really dry type or they make into pickle type?
Yummy cupcakes. I would like to bake this with fresh Roselle. Just bought some from the market and I live in Singapore where you are. Cant wait to try it. But first will make the Roselle Tea/Juice.
Hello Wendy, I'm so happy that you visit me site 🙂 Fresh roselle is good for making tea. Actually I wanted to buy the fresh roselle to make jelly. Will definitely share my recipe after I got the fresh roselle.

Wow! These roselle cuppies are a show stopper! Love the red top, like a flower show piece! I usually get fresh ones from market and boil to drink, it's do nice too! Maybe next time if you see fresh ones, you can try making into your beautiful jellies! ??
Thanks Bee Bee! Yes, I actually wanted to buy the fresh to make jellies but seems like this roselle is very salable. Will go to the market earlier in the morning next time.
Wow, a new fruit for me! It makes a stunning topper!!! I'd love a taste of your beautiful cupcakes 🙂
Hi Liz, really hope you can try the roselle one day.

These roselle cupcakes look delicious and pretty with those topping.
they certainly look very attractive..i've seen fresh roselles here in the market but never tried them too before 🙂
Awesome, Ann! I've heard of Roselle but have never seen them 'dead or alive'! How I wish I can sample some from you!
Thank you Cheah. Sure! When you're here, I can bake for you.
So pretty and a lovely presentation! I haven't tried Roselle yet, definitely have to try it out!
Thank you Tanja. I think roselle also available in some part of US.
Yes, I have heard of roselle, but not being able to find…the cupcakes look so cute and so colorful…
Enjoy your week Ann 🙂

I have never used 洛神花 in the baking. The cupcakes look so beautiful.
如果我回老家有看见它，帮你带些回来，新鲜的洛神花，美味的很呢！
Cass, 你对我真好！哈哈哈。。。
I am waiting for my roselle plant to arrive from the nursery, so that I can have loads of them to make tea and other stuff. The roselle is so beautiful on your cupcakes!
Oh Yen, you order from the nursery? So good hor… I'll check it out too. Must get myself a pot of this roselle plant.
I've seen it here before but not really interested in buying some 😛 Will try it next time 😀 Those cupcake look wonderful ! Roselle looks pretty neat as a topping ……
I've never seen the
Neither have I heard nor eaten 洛神花. It's really beautiful sitting in the pink liners – so matching.
Chris, have a try. You can feel the crunch of roselle in the cake.
Ann, thanks for sharing! Never heard of roselle but I am very sure its very nice!!!
Ai Li, can try some as snack.
Hi, Ann, these roselle looks definitely perfect with these little cupcakes. I haven't seen fresh/dried roselle here but so far I saw the roselle jam selling in a shop. I didn't intend to buy it becoz I know it must be super sweet(for standard taste), hehe! I rather grab some from you! $2 for 200g is very cheap woh!
Jessie, I saw many friends planted roselle at home easily. Next time must get the seeds and plant as many as you like.
哇，好有洛神般感觉的被子蛋糕。非常美丽的杯子蛋糕。忍不住看多几眼
你是被那红当当的颜色吸引住，我是喜欢那脆脆的的口感，酸酸甜甜的，很好吃 🙂
Yes, I have eaten this preserved roselle before and love it! I can imagine the crunchiness it gives to this cupcake! Sounds delicious!

Thank you for visiting my site 🙂
Hi Ann, these cupcakes are so pretty. Brilliant idea to use Roselle to make cupcakes… will try it sometime.
Mich, I think can add it into chiffon cake too.

一道特别口味的蛋糕。。。。。。赞
蛋糕美美的，酸酸甜甜的洛神花干一定很可口。
Wow!!! Dried Roselle is really pretty and great for decoration.
Thanks Esther 🙂
看你的照片就想象到这蛋糕的味道了，洛神花干的颜色好美。
我也是被那颜色吸引住，而且拿来煮水也很好喝。
很美很美的洛神花蛋糕！
我家有非常茂盛的洛神花，也採了很多包， 还不知该如何是好!哈哈。。。
原来你也种了洛神花啊！好像很容易种，等我有空就要到花园，看买得到洛神花种子吗。
原来脱衣服之后的更加漂亮吸引人哦！我今天改拿什么和你交换了叻?
当然要跟你换，你做什么都好看，不用说也很好吃！
I have heard of 洛神花 but never tried any related food. Your roselle cakes look so pretty and elegant!
Thank you 🙂 I think make the roselle tea is much healthier than cakes.
