Spongy Banana Cupcakes 香蕉海绵杯子蛋糕

I have many cupcake liners haven't used. I bought some and some given by my cooking & baking buddies.  I took out this floral design and I decided to bake them with banana sponge cake, they look so lovely! And this was a faster way to prepare cupcakes, I still use my prefer cold eggs method, don't need egg separation, and only need 5mins beating time, quick and good!
