Steamed Sponge Cake ( Ma Lai Go)









This is a classic cake that we always eat at the Yum Cha place, the flavour of this recipe is very similar to it,  tasted, tested and I love it ! I have been following "SiuKitchen" for some time now,  her recipes are usually healthier, with less sugar and less oil.  Just perfect for my family.






Ingredients ( for 6" mould pan):
2 eggs
20g oil
Brown sugar  80g
Evaporated milk  150g
Custard powder  10g
Corn flour  25g
Baking powder  6g
Bicarbonate of soda  4g
Self raising flour   100g






Method:
1.  Sift all flours, set aside.
2.  Whisk eggs until foamy, add sugar in batches.  Whisk until batter slightly thickened (about 5 to 8 minutes).
3.  Gradually add in evaporated milk and continue to whisk. ( change Mixer to medium speed).
4.  Fold in flours gently until no lumps.
5.  Take a small portion from the batter and mix with the oil.  This is to lighten the texture of the oil.  Pour the mixture into the batter and mix well.
6.  Pour eveything in the pan.
7.  Cover pan with cling wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
8.  Steam with high heat for 30 minutes.
9.  Done!
