Sarawak Serikaya Cake






Recipe from Y3K Delicious Cakes by Amy Heng
This recipe used steam bake method but the other recipe which I have used a long hours of steaming method. So I wanted to try out the steam bake method and compare both the outcome. I divided the batter into two portions. The oval Serikaya Cake was steam bake which has a dry and crack top :( but the cake was very soft. Whereas the square Serikaya Cake was very soft over all. :) Conclusion, I still preferred the steaming method.
The recipe used black treacle however I don't have that so I replaced it with Gula Hitam browning. (available at Anna Phua)
