Anyway, another reason is my grandma loves malaysian cake or sponge cakes in general.
So for me... its something new, a challenge, and fascinating to learn you can bake cakes with a steamer instead of the oven!
The recipe is very simple, and ingredients are not that fancy... if you do baking quite regularly, most stuff should be in your cupboard.
Simple as mixing all the ingredients with a mixer!
Mixture looks creamy & fluffy - actually its soo light it almost look like a mousse!
those silicion cases are a delight, fill it up, put it in the steamer for 20mins.......tick tock tick tock
Tada, fresh bake malaysian cakes (Ma Lai Go)
Cake cases and let i cool down on the rack... whilst more steaming....!
40mins later... a whole nice batch of Ma Lai Go-s
Malaysian cakes compare to other things i've made lately, is definitely very easy, the hardest bit is waiting for the steamer to 'DING' and put the next batch in. I munched it whilst waiting.... and it is very light and fluffy.
