Instructions

This recipe is recommended to all sisters! It is the taste of authentic Hong Kong-style Mala Cake!

Mala Cake is one of the popular snacks in tea restaurants. The taste of this recipe is fluffy and soft. It has the smell of chicken cake and the softness of sponge. It is very close to that of tea restaurants✅

Brown sugar mala cake is also a traditional Cantonese-style tea house dessert. It is a famous snack. It is very similar to brown sugar cake. The method of the two is almost the same, but some recipes replace part of the flour when making brown sugar cake with tapioca flour. , so it tastes a bit Q-bomb, chewy. But we don't need tapioca for this recipe today.

Tasty Mala Cake

Although brown sugar mala cake is very similar to brown sugar cake, it is more popular with everyone. Its appearance and taste are better than brown sugar cake. Now let's see how to make it.

Ingredients:

200 grams of milk

200g low-gluten flour

Baking powder 12 grams

44 grams of eggs

120g brown sugar

60 grams of butter

Oil paper 2 sheets

After steaming
Just done with the steaming

practice:

1. Take half of the milk and add brown sugar to heat until all the brown sugar melts, then add the remaining milk and let it cool.

2. Add eggs, flour, and baking powder in turn, and mix wellIt takes about 10 minutes until there are no grains. This step is time-consuming. I find it more convenient to use an egg beater. Finally, sieve.

3. Add the melted butter and stir well, let stand for 10 minutes. You can also use corn oil instead, but the milky taste is not so strong.

After steaming, check if it's cooked

4. Put it in a bowl lined with oiled paper, boil the water and steam on high heat for 25 minutes, then remove the cover and turn off the heat immediately.

Looks delicious

That's it!

The Mala Cake in my picture should actually swell more, but my hands are shaking and I added too much milk, so it is relatively moist. If the proportion of milk is reduced, it will be perfect! 💯

It should be spongier
