Thanks for linking up with LTU! This is the first time I heard about hot cross cake (I only know hot cross bun, lol)! By the way, this cake rose up nicely! Some of the blogger did similar cake like this but it is call "bai bai" cake...
Looking forward for more linkup from you, cheers!
Your Hot Cross cakes are all so lovely. I have baked this cake 2-3 times but the cake deflated after cooling. Any advice for this? I used a 7" pan instead of 6".
Hi Jozelyn Ng,
Cheers! It nice to have you host LTU. :) This is same as the Chinese blog 'bai bai dan gao', I find that it sound awkward so I name it Hot Cross Cake.
Hi Kimmy,
Thanks. Use a 6" pan and it will rise tall. If your meringue is stable it will not deflate during cooling.
The method is same as chiffon cake.
Hi Happy Flour,
Saw this from a few Chinese bloggers too but didn't have time to bake them. Yours with maple syrup looks great!

Hi u said the method look like chiffon cake so after remove from the oven we must flip the cake
