This look amazing, without whisk and can have such nice cake, I guess the double action baking powder play the important role.
Ur steamed cake looks very fluffy and soft. I copied this recipe from Aunt Yochana's blog long time ago but have yet to try it out, to many to-do list. I think I shall try it out soon.
:)
They are smiling at me...
Those cakes laugh like nobody's business!! Looks very moist! Should be fluffy, too!

bamk, wendy,
Sonia, my kids love this milk cake. Yes, must use double action baking power, else may not work.
Angel,
I also procrastinate making this but after trying out once, I got addicted as it's really simple. And the important thing is, my kids enjoyed the cake.
Pei-Lin, it's soft and fluffy but I thought it tasted somewhat like Huat Kueh, just that it's a milk version.
Anony, I'm not sure if this works with SRF as double action baking powder is cruial in the steaming process. No harm trying since it's such a simple recipe.
Pearlyn, I'll double the recipe next time I make this so I can fly some over to you ;-)
Ann, you really should try this. It's so quick and easy.
this looks good! perfect for tea time. maybe i should try steaming next time :)
So lovely. Must try. Am sure my kids would love it.
noobcook & shykitchen,
Please try and let me know how yours turn out, bald or smiling ;-)
Your cake looks delicious! I am going to try to make them this weekend. But if I don't have rice flour, can I subsitutue them with something else or leave that out of the recipe? What is the purpose of rice flour in a recipe?
Hi Anony,
I don't know what to replace but I think it's ok to omit rice flour since the amount used is small.
Yrs look really good! I gave it a try & it's not smiling at all! ;-< But I will give it another go soon!
Irene, if you see yochana's pics, her cakes didn't "smile" too. I'm not sure if the end result should be round or smiling.
Hi, could you advise if it's possible to fully substitute fresh full fat milk for skim milk in this recipe? I want to make the cake fat free.. Thanks very much..
evesauraus, I think it's ok to use skim/low fat milk. Do let me know how it turn out for you.
Hi,BH...I've been lurking around your fantastic blog for some months now, and i must say that it has provided me ideas on what to make for my son who's 2+ as snacks. Thanks!
I've tried this recipe twice but I don't seem to get the nice fluffy texture that u did. It is very "dense" instead and harden even more when it cooled. My son finished them all tho...asking for more "muffin cake" after that. Guess he's quite a rubbish bin after all.
Is it due to the extrafine flour i use instead of cake flour? or becoz i used a wok to steam? Thanks...i'm determine to do this until i get the fluffy cakes like yours! :Ϸ
Hi Melody,
Thanks for leaving me a note :)
I'm glad to know that my simple recipes have given you some inspiration.
I suspect you may have stirred too much.
Hope to see more comments from you ;-)
