Condensed Milk Honey Cupcake

Should I name these condensed milk honey cupcakes as Ugly cupcakes? Although they did not have presentable appearances, they had a very nice aroma and cottony soft texture 😋 I think if I bake them over low heat and longer duration, they may have a smoother dome crust. However, for own family consumption, looks not so important, taste and aroma matter more 😜

Yield: 7 cupcakes

Paper cup size: 5Dx4H cm

Baking temperature: Preheated oven at 160℃ for 20 minutes, off heat and keep in oven for 3 minutes. Bake at middle rack of the oven.
