Steamed Egg Cake


Ingredients:
2 eggs
210g castor sugar
230g cake flour
6 tbsp soda (any flavor of F&N or Fantas)
Food coloring for stamping
1 tbsp castor sugar ~ sprinkle

Directions:
  1. Beat eggs & sugar in a mixer over high speed for 2 mins till fluffy, increase to medium-high speed & continue beat till double in volume (abt 25 mins) till batter turned thick & pale.  Change to a lower speed, beat for 3 mins to minimize the air bubbles.
  2. Mixer at low speed; add in sifted flour & soda drink alternately (don't over mix).  Remove the mixing bowl, use a spatula & lightly stir to combine well.
  3. Pour the cake batter into prepared 6" or 8" lined bamboo tray; lightly tap on counter-top to remove air bubbles.
  4. Sprinkle coarse sugar such that it forms a cross on the surface of cake batter (this is important to get a nice crack effect & do this fast otherwise the sugar tends to sink).
  5. Steam over high heat for about 30 mins (start when water is boiled), serve after slightly cool down.
