All about Cakes & Cookies Baking

[jtoh]

Interesting cakes, Funz and Eatnonstop. The only steamed cake I've tried is the traditional steamed egg cake. No 7-up in that recipe.

Thanks for sharing the steamed cake recipes, Funz and EatNonStop. They look really good.


I forgot to mention that mine is an electric steamer, Kenwood brand. I just checked the instruction booklet and there is nothing on steaming cakes, only vege, meat, rice and poaching of eggs, each rep by an icon followed by approx time.

Would you be able to advise me as to how long would I need to steam these cakes if I use the Kenwood??

Funz, what is the purpose of adding 7-UP? This is really something new to me.

u all can try using microwave,
only takes 2 -3 min (slightly mroe for a normal cake size) to \"cook\" a small cake....

i used the same recipe for normal cake, results turned out GOOD,
taste the same, except no browning effect.

LKVM:

microwave??? can bake cake in it? :?

Yup lkvm, cake can be \"cooked\" in microwave,
a very quick way of making a cake.
u can get a cake done in 15 minutes or less, inclusive the preparation time.
it'll look like what Funz had posted.

Steamed 7-up Pandan Cake

Thanks for sharing the detailed recipe, Funz. I have never thought 7-UP could be added as one of the ingredients for cakes. Interesting! Will definitely try it! :celebrate: :celebrate:

EatNonStop, thanks for sharing the recipe. Wolfberries pumpkin steam cake sure sounds super healthy! First it's the wolfberries, then the pumpkin... and lastly, it's steamed! :love: :celebrate: :celebrate:

I think the 7-up acts like baking soda.


Taste wise it does taste like traditional steamed egg cake with a hint of pandan. It is pretty plain. You can try reducing the sugar and eat it with kaya. Or add raisins or even wolfberry or add a bit instant coffee dissolved in a bit of water. It makes a good base for many possibilities.

I did not have any self raising flour so I substituted with plain flour plus 1 tsp of baking powder. So guess it did not turn out as fluffy as it should. But I actually like this texture. It has a springiness of chewiness to it.

I steamed it for about 15mins on high heat over the stove. If you are using an electric steamer maybe choose a function that uses high heat and just time it yourself.
