Steamed Gula Melaka (aka Palm Sugar) Cupcake 独特香软椰糖马来糕(蒸)

Just back from a 2 weeks long holiday. I miss my homemade food! I think my boy feel the same too.

Holidaying is fun but...with my super picky eater around, every meal time is a battle! So good to be home that I can make some healthy and nutritious food for him...yeah, my little boy.

My version of steamed Gula Melaka cake is different from those served in the dim sum restaurant. We used to order steamed cake when having dim sum breakfast at Imperial Treasure/ Tim Ho Wan because hubby and me like it but my boy didn't like it at all, not willing to eat a single bit! But, my version here, I do not have problem feeding him. Well, he will feed himself with at least 2 cupcakes at a time. :) 

This recipe is modified from my mom's recipe. My mom used to steam cake for us when we were small. Mom used to steam cake in a large bamboo basket lined with mahjong paper. I super like her cakes! Mom's food is always the best of the best! 

My steamed cake is always sweeter in taste. For less sweet version, do reduce the sugar accordingly. 

Ingredients: Yield 17 mini cupcakes (with 1 ice cream scoop batter in each cup)
