Essential Ingredients
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 80g granulated sugar
- 180g milk, at room temperature
- 240g cake flour (or all-purpose flour)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
- Vegetable oil (for greasing)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, gently whisk the 2 room-temperature eggs until slightly broken up. Be careful not to create too much foam; whisk just enough to combine.
Step 2
Gradually add the 80g of sugar in 2-3 additions while continuously whisking. Continue mixing until the sugar is dissolved and the batter becomes slightly thick. Adding sugar in stages helps it dissolve better.
Step 3
Pour in the 180g of room-temperature milk and whisk until well combined. The milk will help create a smoother batter.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, sift together the 240g of cake flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Sifting ensures that the dry ingredients are evenly distributed and leads to a lighter cake texture.
Step 5
Add the sifted dry ingredients to the egg mixture. Gently fold them in using a spatula, cutting through the batter rather than stirring vigorously. Mix just until no dry flour streaks remain; overmixing can make the cake tough. Stir in the 1 tablespoon of black sesame seeds and a little vegetable oil (for greasing the mold).
Step 6
Lightly grease the baking mold or heatproof dish you’ll be using with vegetable oil. Pour the batter into the prepared mold, filling it about two-thirds full. (Note: The original recipe mentioned ‘half sweet potato’, but it wasn’t listed in the ingredients. If you wish to add sweet potato, you could mash and add it to the batter or place it on top before steaming).
Step 7
Place the mold with the batter into a steamer with boiling water and steam for approximately 15 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a skewer or toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
Step 8
Wrap the lid of the steamer with a kitchen towel or cloth. This will prevent condensation from dripping onto the cake, ensuring a smooth surface. Carefully remove the finished steamed cake from the mold and enjoy!
