dear Yochana,

Did you find 330g sugar too sweet? Is it possible to cut back on the sugar ? Thanks.

Oh of course you can cut down the sugar to your taste but it's the sugar that makes the kueh bolu crispy. When the sugar is less, the kueh bolu will become an ordinary sponge cake. I have sweet tooth, so it's okay for me.

Hi, Lucy.

I love Kueh Bolu, but they always get mouldy fast. I'm going to try this and see how long they last before it becoms mouldy. Do you know the shelf life of this recipe? or do you have any tips how to prolong the shelf life? Thx,
juliana

Hi Yochana,

I tried the Kueh Bolu recipe today.
The cake gets stuck to the mould even though I have applied oil to it... I tried to line with paper and it gets stuck to the paper too. Any tips for me as to what I have done wrong?

By the way, peeling the bits off still tastes yummy! :-p

Hi Aunty Yochana,

I made this the first time with 300gm of sugar and the second time with 270 gm of sugar as I thought the first batch was still a little sweet. However, the second batch turned out much harder than the first batch. Could the reduction in sugar have caused the cake to turned harder?

hi Cass,

this kueh bolu is quite a tricky thing to do. yes reduction of sugar will definitely change the texture of the cake.
With less sugar you need to bake longer thus making the cake hard and dry.
