124. Making of Steamed Egg Cake





After umpteenth times of failure on making the skin of the Teochew png kueh, my mum turned her enthusiasm into making steamed egg cake. It's a big fuss when you don't use a electric beater. Manually, can you believe it? Imagine beating the eggs for 1 hour non-stop. Kudos to the early women who made such cakes. I bet their cakes tasted salty, from the beads of perspiration dripped into the mixture. Haha. Just kidding. Their cakes definitely tasted nice because they were made with so much efforts.
Luckily, the steamed egg cakes did huat. Huat meant the split on the cake's surface. In traditional baking, if your steamed egg cake didn't have the splits, it means it is not a successful attempt.
