Steam Sponge Cake “蒸鸡蛋糕”

Another easy recipe during this #stayhome period. The best thing is when I can make it as and when I feel like eating sponge cake because it takes less then 10 minutes to prepare and only 10 minutes to cook. Also, I believe some of you have limited ingredients in the house. So hopefully this recipe has all the ingredients you need.

Top tips:

  • Fill up the cupcakes till 3/4 full. Try not to fill to the brim as the cupcake will not be able to rise well
  • Serve while warm. If you keep in the fridge overnight. Best to steam the cakes again to warm it up
  • This recipe is not very sweet. So if you have a sweet tooth, feel free to add more sugar in the recipe
