Sarawak Steamed Cake

Hello,

Making Sarawak steamed cake is not as easy as baking other cake. Most of the Sarawak cakes ingredients are not easy to find and sometimes it using only quality ingredients and to make a Sarawak cake also required a lot of patience. I have to admit these cakes are tasteful and simply delicious. Just forget about the time-consuming to make this cake, it takes time but it worth it.

Personally, I like Sarawak steamed cakes, any kind of it and I usually can't stop eating the cake because they're just so yummy. I found plenty of recipes from internet and just replace one ingredient which is malt powder because this product I couldn't find it here. I used cereal Nestum instead and blend it in a dry blender to a fine powder. It tastes great though because all the basic ingredients are still there.
