Steamed Chinese Sponge Cake (鸡蛋糕)

鸡蛋糕 is my favorite cake i love to eat when i am little. So this was the next recipe that i searched from the Web.

i failed for the first attemp. It did raised a bit but the texture was little hard & the taste is not there. It could be i added the pandan essence as per the recipe.

the 2nd attemp i tried another recipe with only self-raising flour, eggs & sugar. This round the egg taste too strong & is not soft as expected.

3rd attemp, i tried another recipe which turns out to be a good one. except that it didn't raised, the taste & the texture was almost there.

here is the recipe i got it from fenyingrecipe.blogspot.com.
