Steam Layer Cake
Today I managed to try the recipe for making Steam Layer Cake given to me by Jasline (http://jas-lim.blogspot.com/).
I halved the recipe so that its a smaller cake (enough for family of 3). However,after tasting the cake, I have decided to make small changes to the recipe as I find the cake too sweet and too oily...
Steam Layer Cake (ala Hedy's Style)
Ingredients :
2 eggs
90 g sugar
120 g milk
Vanilla Essense / Flavouring - 2 drops
50g butter
8g Double Action Baking Powder
80 gm Multipurpose Flour + 70 gm Marie Biscuit - crushed
7 g cocoa powder
Directions :
1. Beat eggs, and add sugar. Beat until sugar disolves.
2. Add milk and vanilla essense. Mix until mixture is well balanced.
3. Slowly add in the mixture of flour and marie biscuit. While mixing, keep stiring the mixture.
4. Mix well, then add butter. Stir and mix well again.
5. Scoop up 1/3 of the batter into another bowl, and add cocoa powder. You have now 2 type of batter, the plain batter (2/3) and cocoa batter (1/3)
6. Wipe a thin layer of butter on the pan to greese it a little.
7. Lay first layer of the plain batter into the pan, and steam for about 8-10 mins.
8. Prick about 7 on the steamed layer, then add cocoa batter. Steam for about 8-10 mins
9. Prick about 8 on the steamed layers, then add the plain batter again. Steam for about 8-10 mins.
See my results.... heheh....
