Kai Tung Gho (鸡蛋糕 )

Got this from quizzine. Not bad for the 1st attempt, altho I was a bit impatient at the end because I needed to leave the house, so the bottom middle of the cake wasn't totally cooked through. Next time will need the full 1 hr.

This is her recipe.

Ingredients/ Method:

300g plain flour
300g sugar (I used 270g but will try 250g next round)
6 eggs
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder

1. Sift the flour, baking soda and baking powder, and set aside. Prepare wok for steaming.
2. Beat the eggs till pale white and slowly add in sugar. Continue to beat the egg mixture till ribbon-stage.
3. Fold in the flour to the egg mixture gently.
4. Pour batter into cake tin or basket lined with 'glass paper' 玻璃紙. Steam for 45 mins to 1 hour. Check for doneness when skewer inserted into centre of cake comes out clean.

I just saw her new altered recipe. It uses a lot less eggs but replaces the air with old fashioned carbonated water. Will try that next time to make the cake 'smile' at me as it is supposed to.

Old-style 鸡蛋糕

Ingredients/ Method
3 large eggs
300gm plain flour
300gm sugar (will reduce to 200gm the next time)
170ml F&N orange juice

1. Sift plain flour and set aside.
2. Beat eggs and sugar until mixture turns pale and thick, about 20-25 mins using the mixer.
3. Fold in flour into egg mixture gently, until well mixed.
4. Pour in orange juice into the mixture and stir in one direction gently, and until well mixed.
5. Pour mixture into prepared cane basket with plastic suitable for steaming. Steam on high heat for 1 hour.

*To have your cake smile at you, sprinkle sugar across the mixture before putting into the steamer.
