Just searched on net for the origin, there is so many versions, can be from Malaysia, Hong Kong and even in England. Anyway, no matter where this steam cake originated from, the most important is taste great.

So let's get started.

Baking powder 7g

Black sugar 70g

Milk 85g (replaced by condensed milk 10g, filled with water til reached 85g)

1    Beat the eggs

2    Add in Black Sugar, milk and corn oil, mix well

3    Next add in shift cake flour and baking power, mix well till no lump appear

4    Strain the batter to get a smooth batter, I used a lightly oil 6 inch pan, let it rest for 10 min so the         baking powder to react its purpose. At this point of time, prepare the steamer.

5    Once water boiled, put the pan into the steamer, reduced the heat to medium heat and steamed for         25mins. Unmold only when the cake had cooled. I had sprinkled some sesame seed, you may opt it       (When using glass lip, please cover the lid with a piece of cloth so that the water will not drop onto         the steamed cake)

This recipe is a keeper and is successful. Just love the texture of this steamed cake.
