Hi, is the Corn Flour actual Ground Corn, or the commercial Corn Starch ?
Thank you.
Hi, We’re using commercial corn starch.
Hi Ann,
Can I replace corn oil with butter?
Hi Rena, Yes you can use melted butter.
Hi Ann
I don’t have a real steamer but I have a steam basket. Can I use that? Do you cover the pot while steaming the cakes? Thank you 🙂
Bea
Hi Bea, Yes you can use a steam basket and you must cover the steamer.
Thank you Ann!
Cheers 🙂
My cakes turns out dense. Not soft and spongy. Although the taste wise is ok. So sad.
Hi Lilian Cheong, sorry to hear that you’re not happy with the end result but many had tried this recipe.
Can you show a pic of your cake here?
Just a gentle note: over stirring the batter will develops gluten that causes the cake dense.
Hi Ann i only managed 1 photo.
Hi Lilian, your cakes look dense .. try not to over stir the batter too much the next time if you want to try this recipe again. The cake is best eaten when it is warmed.
Mine turns out great! Thanks for the recipe ❤
You’re most welcome and I’m so happy to hear that! 😀
