  5. Hi Asan,

    Steamed cakes has both light and heavy cakes.

    For the chinese steamed cakes which uses egg, sugar ,flour and 7-up, they are light.

    Like steamed fruit cake, serikaya cakes, etc are known as heavy cakes.

  7. Hi Rachael,

    The hole is caused by the water dripping down from the cover. wipe the cover dry before closing then make sure the cover is tight so that no water will condense on top and drip into the cake causing a huge crater.

    You can cover the cake with an aluminium foil to prevent water from dripping in.
