Bolu Kukus (Indonesian steam sponge cake)
Ingredients:
250 gr Sugar
250 gr Flour
2 Eggs
1 tsp Cake emulsifier
200 ml Soda water or Sprite
1-2 tsp Cocoa powder or mocha paste
Method:
1. Place baking paper/muffin paper form into bolu kukus mold
2. Pre heat the steamer
3. Mix all the ingredients using freestanding mixer until creamy, around 10 minutes.
4. Take a 1/3 of the batter and place it into another bowl and put cocoa powder or mocha paste. Mix it well.
5. Pour the white batter into the mold until a little over half way.
6. Swirl a little chocolate or mocha batter on top.
7. Steam it with a high heat for 15 to 20 minutes.
Important notes:
- Wrap the steamer lid with towel or cloth
- DO NOT open the lid during steaming or the cake wont "bloom" and look like a regular muffin.
When i made this cake, i tried to use also the regular single muffin mold just to compare the result. You can see the pictures below for the result.
