郭靓太煮甜品 ~ 马来糕 Malaysian Steamed Cake (Mah Lai Goh)

Mah Lai Goh...a traditional cake i assuming its originating from Malaysia and guess that's how it gets its name has now become very popular in the chinese restaurant served as dessert especially in Dim Sum...Hong Kong Dim Sum.... 

I was once tried the Mah Lai Goh at the restaurant ~ Ming's Room @ Bangsar, they made it so amazingly nice! I just dunno how to describe that aroma.....anywhere of the cake stall i bought the Mah Lai Goh was never be that delicious!

So today i wanna try on my own if i could make a miracle ~ ~

The following recipe is my very own synthesize version of Mah Lai Goh after tons of different recipes i've researched. 

Ingredients: 

~ 3 eggs

~ 1 cup all-purpose flour 

~ 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

~ 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

~ 3/4 cup brown sugar (or substitute with honey)

~ 1/4 cup coconut milk

~ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 

~ 1/4 cup melted butter

 vanilla extract, baking soda, baking power

 3 eggs, brown sugar, flour and butter

 coconut milk 

for health concern, we can always substitute it with the evaporated milk

 melt the butter with microwave

Steps 1: Beat the eggs and mixed with brown sugar in high speed until fluffy

Steps 2: Mix in the vanilla extract, butter and coconut milk

Steps 3 : Add in the sifted flour, baking power and baking soda. Blend well the flour.

Steps 4: Then spray the pan with some oil, and pour in the mixture. Cover it with the foil and keep in the fridge for at least 1 hour. This is to let the baking powder ferment and grow nicely when send to steam later.

Steps 5: 1 hour later, get ready the wok and the steaming rack,add in sufficient water and bring it to boil with lid on. When the water is boiled, slightly beat the batter with the balloon whisk and steam the batter for 30 minutes.

Steps 6: Can check the cake by inserting the tooth pick. If its clean ~ means its done!

Steps 7: Remove the cake from the pan and cut into slices.

 Served with my red bean + black glutinous rice dessert

Yum....i rate myself 5* out of 10* for this trial. There is nothing wrong with my recipe, it taste very good, although it doesn't meet my expectation as of what i've tried at Ming's Room but at least it was better than the one from pasar cake stalls.

There's still room for improvement, perhaps in my next trial i shall substitutes the brown sugar with honey and coconut milk with the evaporated milk. Hopefully it will reach my desire taste bud!
