I love your basket.
It's great to have Daiso around, isn't it?
Hi Wendy,
Ya, they have a lot of interesting yet cheap stuffs.
Is the dark soy sauce you added or dark caramel sauce ? Because I saw somewhere which add dark caramel sauce. I like this kuih too.
Hi Sonia,
I used the dark soy sauce which we usually use for cooking. You can also use the sweeten dark soy sauce. This cake taste fantastic, full of palm sugar fragrant.
Hi,
I just tried your recipe. Is the mixture after folding in flour supposed to be thick and lumpy? And the eggs deflated badly ):
Hi Ying,
The mixture is thick but not lumpy. Your egg batter was not whisk till thick enough. The egg batter will deflate as it was the reaction with baking soda and baking powder.
