steamed egg cake

This steamed egg cake is similar to the Fatt kueh except that it does not require the yeast dough mixture. Since orange juice is one of the ingredients, the cake has a unique fruity taste that is absolutely delightful + the cake is super soft because of SP. Light cream in color, they look beautiful when they open up in quadrates on the top with swirls of raspberry.
Ingredients:
Eggs, 3
Sugar, 185g
Hong kong flour, 400g
Orange juice plus water, 190g
Orange zest, 2 Tbsp
double action baking powder, 1 dsp
S.P., 20g

Method:

1. Add the egg and sugar into the mixer ( use an wire whisk). Mix for approximately 2 minutes on medium speed. Add S.P. Sift Hong Kong flour and baking powder together. Fold it into the batter.

2. Add half the amount of water into the batter, beat before adding the rest of the liquid.

3. Continue to beat for 10 seconds until the batter is smooth.Remove from mixer.

4. Line steamer with greaseproof paper. Pour cake mixture in. Use an oiled spatula to cut a "x" on the top. Add raspberry coloring on top. Swirl. Steam over high heat for 25 minutes. Makes 18.

*extra tips:*

1. Use Ice cream soda or orange flavored sprite drink instead of water. It depends on your taste preference. You can also use orange juice for the whole liquid portion.

2. Must use Hong kong flour, not plain flour because yeast dough mixture is not used.

3.It can be baked in a bigger tin instead of small mufin cups.

Hi Cherry,

Would you please let me know what is Hong Kong flour? I've tried the recipes using regular flour, but the cake won't rise.

Thanks for your advice :)
