ReplyDeleteHi Lucy, I did this cake for my mum last month for Mother's Day. The smell was heavenly when I took it out of the oven. She loves it and thank you so much for sharing the recipe with us.
ReplyDeleteTks-Yochana-for-your-recipe.
ReplyDeleteI've-tried-for-the-first-time-and-have-few-questions-to-clarify.Though-not-quite-successful,but-ended-up-with-2-layers-of-edible-cake.
1)The-yellow-cake-rose-nicely-but-later-shrunk-after-I-took-out-from-oven,thus-I-can't-split-into-2-portions.Is-it-b'cos-I-poured-melted-butter-into-the-yolk-mixture-instead-of-folding-with-flour-or-I-over-folded?Texture-is-not-fluffy.
2)Why-u-mention-2-different-size-of-tins-as-I-used-both-9''sq-tin?
3)Why-is-only-egg-yolk-used-for-this-cake?Is-it-b'cos-of-colour?
4)I-tried-also-steaming-Huat-Kueh-many-timesusing-wok-or-2-tiers-steamer-but-sometimes-successfully,sometimes-densed-liked-Kueh-Ko-Swee-texture-after-I-took-out-from-steamer.Really-puzzled-me???Can-you-advise?

Hi mother-of-4
ReplyDeleteYes you probably could have overmixed your yellow portion. Egg yolks are used in this recipe to give the cake the softness.
You only need 1 layer choc and 2 layers yellow and that is why I gave the different sizes but u can use two 9" sq if your batter suffice then slice accordingly.
As for steam huat kueh...it's a very bullying type of kueh. As what you've mentioned, sometimes smile and sometimes it doesnt'. For Wa kok kway, it depends on your fermented rice - whether it's properly fermented or not. Sometimes also due to mixing or your Eno is not working anymore. Sometimes eggs also play a part...not fresh enough. So there are many factors to unsuccessful huat kueh which you have to practice and know where you went wrong. Even I sometimes gets huat kueh that doesn't smile.

lezaat... delicious...
