Peanut Butter Chiffon Cupcakes
These Peanut Butter Chiffon Cupcakes are a little dense but soft and bouncy and it is not too sweet. You can even smell the fragrance of peanut butter lingering in the kitchen while baking. Definitely great to serve at any time of the day.

- 60 ml fresh milk
- 2 egg yolks
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

- 1/2 tbsp corn flour (starch)
Meringue
- 2 egg whites
- 40 g light brown (fine) sugar - or caster sugar
Instructions
