Steam Egg Cake

I ate 3 pieces. oh my! This is my favorite cake and it's the first time I've made this cake ;
much thanks to http://bits-of-taste.blogspot.com/2009/06/steamed-egg-cake.html

My cake didn't turn out perfect looking; but I must say the taste is good. I'll need to perfect my steaming skill - the top of the cake came out damp; and I took much longer to steam the cake.

Here's the recipe from bits-of-taste:

Ingredients:
3 eggs (Grade A)    [i used 4 normal size egg-weigh around 206gm total; calculated 3 Grade A would
                             weigh around 180gm. My 3 normal size egg weigh 156gm]


100gm Castor sugar
150gm Cake flour / Superfine flour
1 tsp Baking Powder   
4 - 5 tbsp Milk                   [I used 2 tbsp milk plus 2 tbsp ice cream soda]
20cm bamboo steaming tray / rice cooker steaming tray
Baking paper

Methods:
1. Line a 20cm bamboo steaming tray / rice cooker steaming tray with baking paper. Set aside.
2. Whisk sugar & eggs with hand whisk for 15 mins or until batter turns fluffy with creamy lemon colour.
[i had to whisk for around 25 mins for the mixture to turn stiffer and fluffier]





3. Sieve flour with baking powder together.
4. Pour half portion of flour mixture into egg batter. Mix and stir well.
5. Repeat with the other half portion.
[I slowly pour in the flour mixture into the egg batter and fold it in]


6. Add in milk and stir well. Adjust milk amount according to the thickness of the batter. If you find that batter is too thick, add another tablespoon of milk.
[i used 2 tbsp of milk; then added in 2 tbsp of ice cream soda - ]


7. Pour batter into bamboo steaming tray. 
8.Steam egg cake at high heat for 15 mins
[7,8.  Meantime, i had set on a pot of boiling water with the pan inside. I pour the steam egg mixture into the pan and steam at high heat. it took me almost 25 mins to steam]


9. If you cover the steaming tray with another lid or a stainless steel plate, steam for 25 mins (I didn't cover with double lids for this recipe).
10. Open lids, test with a skewer, if the skewer comes out clean. The cake is done.
11. Remove egg cake immediately from the steaming pot. Let cool, then cut into pieces and enjoy!

Risen quite high; but the top got damp.

This is from the smaller pan. I had cut away the damp top.
