Steamed Honey Cake

=)

This time it's the same attempt but with a proper cake tin! Though I think that bundt cake tin would do better now since the middle bit won't sink to the bottom. And I think I left it steaming at a low heat which took awhile for it to rise (yes it rose!)

This time this cake has a 'dark spot' aka a little crusty bit since honey burns quite quick.

Here's the recipe if you're bored! IT's quite simple, except that you have to take an extra effort to mix the batter together since honey is a chewy hard texture.

4. Add the sifted flour mixture, little by little, to the egg mixture. (be careful when whisking, as batter gets hard that causes the flour to spill if mixed too hard)

7. Place the dish in a steamer filled with water. 
8. Steam for 35 – 45 mins at medium heat
