Hi Aunty Yochana,
I love steamed cakes alot. Mind sharing this receipe. Email me @ darkgirl_1985@hotmail.com
Thanks alot v^^v
Aunty Yo, do I steam this on high heat or medium heat or low heat? Also, the layer feels like kuih or rather dense like kuih? Thanks!
Sorry, I left out a question. Is ovalette optional here. Don't have it in han. Any good substitute? Thanks again!
Hi Quinn,
I've not tried without ovalette. Try to get any cake stabilizer. You can use Quick75, TBM or SP.
But you can try without ovalette...

Hi Quinn,
It will be a little fluffy..

Wow! That was a really fast reply. Thanks. Think I will do without the ovalette or I'll try find cake stabliser. Thanks!
Aunty Yo, you forgot to answer one question, do I steam it on high/medium/ low heat? Thanks!
Hi Quinn,
Steam at high heat.

Hi Aunty Lucy,
If we don't want to have the cake in 3 separate portions, (cos i realise the only difference is the yellow colouring difference to make it look nicer), can we just pour the whole cake mixture into the tin and steam it? Can I assume we will need to steam for around 60 minutes since it is 20min x 3 layers? Would appreciate your kind clarification. Thanks and regards, Chris
Hello Auntie Yochana:
Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful recipe for steamed corn layer cake. I truly appreciate it. I can't wait to make it...yum, yum...cheers, Elizabeth.
Aunty,
Good morning, thank you for posting this recipe. Aunty can you please tell me how long does 1 packet (11gm) of yeast can last after opening? I was making bread yesterday & it does not rise at all, it could have been that the packet of left over yeast that was open previously was a bit long. Could you please advise. Thanks.
HI Delphine,
Left over yeast must be kept in the FREEZER....otherwise it will die off. In the freezer, it can be kept for quite long...not sure exactly how long.

Hi Chris,
If you steam the whole batter one shot, it can create a dense cake cos it takes a longer time to get cooked and it might sink.
rgds
Hi Aunty Lucy,
Thanks for the advice. I will just follow your method and steam the corn cake layer by layer. Regards. Chris
Aunty,
Thank you for your prompt reply, now I know it had to be kept in the FREEZER, previously I just staple it back tightly & put it in a container. Thanks again for your help.
Hi Aunt Yo, thanks for sharing the recipe. I tried it out and is a success! very soft n fluffy!:D
Hi Peng...
Thumbs up!!! *wink*

Hi Aunty Yo,
Plse enlighten me....
I steamed each layer for 20mins but can't seemed to get the texture correct....it turned out half cooked, like kueh...still moist.
So I thought I'd just steamed it longer to get it cooked, but no matter how long I steamed it, it's still the same.
What did I do wrong?
I use a wok, put water inside to steam the cake. Should I put the cake tin inside the wok after the water starts to boil and count 20mins from then?
Btw, how do you check if the cake is done? Use a chopstick?
TIA.
Hi anonymous,
Wok is no good for making cakes. It will become hard and dense. I suggest u get a 3 tiered steamer.
rgds
Thanks, Aunty Yo!
No wonder my cake is like kueh.
Will go and source for a 3 tier steamer and start all over again.
Hope this time round, I can be successful and my dd will have corn cakes to eat :).
Regards,
Sue
hi auntie yochana,
wish to ask u a few ques..
1)do we need to "pre-heat" the steamer before steaming the cake?
2)how do i ensure the cake is cooked??
3)if while steaming the water was not enough to last the whole process. can we add water? hot water?
thanks
elaine
Hi elaine,
Preheating the steamer is a must for steaming cakes.
Use a timer to time your steaming time.
If you feel that your water is not enough, boil a pot of water as stand-by and pour in the water after the cake is at least half-steamed or more.

Hi Yochana,
Loved this recipe alot, but i was thinking can i omit the ovalette, is there anything like baking powder or bicarbonate of soda type of thing that can replace the ovalette? And what's the amount needed?
Warmest Regards,
Winnie
Hi Winnie,
The ovalette is a cake stablilizer. It will not sink when you put it on the table without baking or steaming. I can't think of anything that can replace it.

Hi Yochana,
Can I use fresh milk instead of condense milk for the recipe?
Thank you!
Hi Parmida
yes you can..
rgds
Hi Auntie Yochana,

Aunty,
This cake looks really yummy! I am thinking of giving it a try this weekend.
Would like to check, tin/ weight of cream corn you use for this recie, as there are 2 different sizes of cream corn available in the market.
Thanks.

Beatrice
