Kek Lumut

Bonsoir,

Kek lumut kukus or steamed moss cake is another Sarawak famous cake that I've made a while ago. This cake has a few version with slightly different ingredients but still used the same name. I think people called it kek lumut because of the greenish coloured just like moss from the stone surfaces. However, though the colour looks like moss, but the cake was delicious!

Most of the delicious Sarawak cake used the steamed method and sometime it takes up to 10 hours of steaming for a certain cake. For this cake lumut, I just baking it in water bath instead of steaming them. The cake turned out great and it was so moist. I love this kind of cake. Recipe source from Homekreation blog.
