I added in a few more drops of colouring after the last stage of mixing and it resulted a strong yellowish 马来糕. :(Recipe

3 eggs
110g caster sugar
1/4tsp salt
125g Hong Kong flour
20g custard powder
1tsp baking powder
1/2tsp baking soda
1/4tsp vanilla paste
65g veg. oil
few drops of yellow food colouring
Steps:
1. Sift flour, custard powder, baking powder and baking soda together and set aside.
2. Whisk eggs, salt and sugar together until thick and fluffy.
3. Lightly fold in flour into egg batter.
4. Cover and rest for 45mins.
5. Mix vanilla paste, colouring and oil together.
6. Lastly fold in oil mixture into batter until well blended.
7. Fill well greased moulds with cake batter till full.
8. Arrange moulds in steamer.

Hi
Are u using plastic mould? Looking at the picture I have the similar shape one but it's made of plastic so I am not sure if it's safe for steaming. I like ur Ma Lai ko exactly the same as those sell in dim sum restaurant.
Pretty colour! Too bad AB for kueh is over!
Hi Sotong,
Thanks. :) Don't drooling already lah, try out this recipe and you can enjoy it.
Hi Angel,
Yes, this is plastic mould which is safe for steaming but not baking.
Hi SSM,
Thanks. :) Hehehe...looking at AB round up really made me drooling over those delicious post. I'm still enjoying making kuehs...
oooh yumm!! Would love to try this recipe! From all the Ma La Gao I've seen, this looks closest to the ones sold in Teck Kee Pau!! (if memory serves me right, that place sells Ma Lai Gao even though it's not their specialty)
omg I miss that place so much!! :(

Hi Sammie,
I can't said the texture is the same as the Ma La Gao sold at the dim sum store but you wouldn't regret after you try it.
I tried this cake in HKG recently, don't really appreciate it, maybe that shop did not make good malay cake..I must try your recipe one day.
Hi Sonia,
I had tried Dim Sum Restaurant Ma La Gao, their was very soft and fluffy should be they add Sponge Gel. Whereas I bought Ma La Gao from hawker centre Dim Sum store their is more like Ji Dan Gao. So I don't really know what is the actual taste and texture of Ma La Gao.
may i know when can i get hong kong flour?
Hi Yukari,
You can use cake flour/low protein flour instead if you can't get Hong Kong flour.
I love this so much and used to have this every time I am having dim sum in Malaysia, thanks for the recipe!
Hi! I wish to inquire if you have the recipe post on the second topmost picture in your blog header. Thanks so much! :)
Hi Edel,
Sorry, I don't know which one are you referring to. Maybe you can look though the post on steam cake.
