When I was young,I made this cake a lot of times.It was the easiest cake that I can made as well as butter cake.
From time to time,I still craved for this old fashioned cake.So,two days ago,I made Hong Kong cake.
My daughters wouldn't love this cake cos it has got holes that made her goosebumps when she look at it.
The holes has got something to do with the baking soda as you all know it.The goodness of
this cake is it can either be baked or steamed as some preferred.
And here is my old time favourite cake recipe taken from one of my books:
Ingredients:
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup boiling hot water
2 heaping tbsp butter
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 cup plain flour
2 tsp bicarbonate soda sifted together with flour
4 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla
Method:
Using medium heat,put the sugar in a wok and fry until melts and brown in colour.Pour in the hot water slowly.Add in the butter to mix.Turn off the fire and leave to cool.
Whip eggs until light and frothy.Stir in sweetened condensed milk and then flour.
Pour in the caramelized sugar.Mix well.
Pour batter into a lined baking sheet tin.
