Cantonese Steamed Sponge Cake 广式马拉盏
These Cantonese Steamed Sponge Cake or Mara Zhan 马拉盏 is a popular Chinese dim sum in Asia. It’s usually made in a small cup or small mould name “Zhan盏” in Chinese , so the cake will get a taller and tilted shape after steaming. You can easily make this at home without an electric mixer. The cake is soft and spongy and the taste is delicious. A perfect quick snack for breakfast or for anytime of the day.
