My sis-in-law had been treating us to delicious cakes (oreo cheese cake, sponge cake, etc). Hence, my sudden the urge to try my hands at making cakes too. But the problem is we do not have the usual baking tools such as oven, mixer, etc. So, baked cakes are out for us.
Since we have a steamer, I googled for steamed cake and decided to try my hands at steamed egg cake[1] (especially after hubby asked whether I have been putting the steamer to good use :p). After tasting, hubby gave it a pretty good score :) Hence, I think I will be making it more often.
The recipe I used is great for us as it did not require baking tools such as mixer, oven, whisk, etc. I did some modification as I did not have condensed milk and all-purpose flour at that point in time. I added 2 more tbsp of sugar and 1 more tbsp of milk as compared to the original recipe, and used rice flour instead.
Anyway, here are the ingredients I used:
2 eggs
5 tbsp sugar (you can choose to use lesser sugar if you want it to taste less sweet)
3 tbsp milk
2 tbsp oil
75g rice flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 eggs
5 tbsp sugar (you can choose to use lesser sugar if you want it to taste less sweet)
3 tbsp milk
2 tbsp oil
75g rice flour
2 tsp baking powder
I followed the steps per recipe:
- First, beat 2 eggs. Next, add in and mix well 5 tbsp sugar. Then, add in and mix well 3 tbsp milk. Finally, add in and mix well 2 tbsp oil.
- Mix 75g rice flour with 2 tsp baking powder.
- Stir the egg mixture to the flour mixture.
- Steam about 15 minutes.
You can do the toothpick test to test whether the cake requires longer steaming time. Just poke the toothpick where the peak of the cake is. If it comes out fairly clean, the cake is ready.
You may also prepare in bigger or smaller quantity by doing some simple mathematics. For example, if you use 4 eggs, then you will need 10 tbsp sugar, 6 tbsp milk, 4 tbsp oil, 150g flour and 4 tsp baking powder. Just make sure you keep the ingredients in proportion.
If you intend to store it, you can store it in a ziplock bag or container. It will last longer if you store it in the fridge. Just steam it again (or microwave) before consuming. I did not test how many days it can be stored (because hubby ate it within 2 days!). But, I think it should be good for a couple of days. Bon appetit!

PS: If you want the cake to have the crack effect, sprinkle sugar to make a cross[2].
