Malay Steamed Sponge Cake

Going to Yum cha I would always order this and I love this so much that I would order this everytime i went Yumcha and recently I saw a recipe for this and wanted to give that recipe a shot and make it. The final results wasn't too bad. NOTE. The photo will look different to the final result as I wanted 2 seperate layers and colours, but the recipe im giving you is exactly the same.

Ingredients: 2/3 cup raw sugar or brown sugar, 120g 5 tbsp evaporated milk, 90g 2 eggs 3 tbsp sunflower oil (or any neutral tasting oil), 40g 1 1/4 cup all purpose flour, 160g 4 tsp baking powder, 20g Directions:

If making evaporated milk yourself: Pour milk into a small sauce pot and heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the milk is evaporated by half.

Add evaporated milk, sugar, egg and oil into bowl and mix. Sift flour and baking powder into the bowl. Stir until dry and wet just incorporated. Important to not mix the batter more than necessary in order to keep the gas bubbles inside the batter. Pour batter into your Tin which is layed with baking paper or Bamboo steaming basket and pour until 80% full. Place into your steamer and let the batter rest for 40 mins.

Prepare your boiling water. Carefully place steamer basket over boiling water and steam at high heat for 20 mins and 10 more mins over low heat. Take off heat and let cool. Eat warm or let cool overnight and eat the next morning!
