I made these cute little pink cakes to satisfy my younger girl's craving for Huat Kuih, her favourite. I am very happy with the results - all the little cakes were smiling at me when I lifted up the lid of the steamer. They made me smile too :)

ReplyDeleteHi! Is the baking powder sufficient to make the cakes rise? Because I saw the same recipe as yours on another person's blog except that she used FOUR tsps of double acting baking powder!
ReplyDeleteHi Gummy Popcorn, 8g of baking powder is enough for my recipe to yield the nicely rised cakes as showed in my photos. ;)
