Steamed cake is one of the delicious traditional cakes and is very popular with many people. With a soft texture and just the right sweetness, steamed cake is often a favorite choice for various events, from social gatherings to family celebrations. The deliciousness and beauty of the perfectly fluffy steamed cake make it even more attractive.
However, to get a fluffy sponge cake, you need a special technique. Because, sometimes the sponge cake becomes flat or does not rise perfectly after being steamed. This condition can certainly be very disappointing, especially if you have taken the trouble to prepare the dough in the hope of getting perfect results.
The causes of flat steamed cake can vary, from improper stirring techniques, unstable steaming temperatures, to errors in ingredient proportions. To overcome this challenge, there are several tips that can be done. One method that is often done is to add baking soda or other leavening agents so that the cake is not flat.
But besides adding baking soda, you can use another trick to make steamed cake to rise perfectly. This trick was once shared by TikTok user @mustika2816. Through one of the videos uploaded, she admitted to only doing a few simple steps.
Once covered, steam the sponge cake over high heat for 15-20 minutes. During this process, make sure you don't open the lid of the pan until the sponge cake is completely cooked. After 20 minutes, then open the pan. Well, this cooked steamed sponge cake looks really beautiful. Even without baking soda, the result is perfectly fluffy. In addition, the texture of the sponge cake is also very soft, making it even more delicious when consumed.
