Rainbow Steamed Cake - Day 21

I can't believe that we are into day 21 of the Royal Selangor Jellyriffic challenge. 9 more posting to go and I think most of us will have a huge sigh of relieve. This has to be the most hectic month for me because of this challenge and also some un-expected personal matters.

Now back to this cake. Does this cake remind you of the Red Indian Teepee ha ha..? The more I look at it the more it resembles a colorful teepee. This is actually my 2nd attempts making this cake. The first time it didn’t turn out well. The top and bottom part cake was cooked but not the middle. When I unmold it, it falls apart. I guess I didn’t steam them long enough. Those who knew me will know that I am not easily defeated. I mix the second batch of batter right away and this time I steamed it for 40 minutes and voila. Came out perfect!! This cake is pretty healthy as there is not butter or oil in it. Just a little bit of coconut milk.




Ingredients:

3 eggs
80 gram sugar
½ tsp vanilla
130 gram cake flour
1/8 tsp. salt
100 ml. coconut milk
Green, red, blue and yellow food coloring (or any color of your choice)


1. Line and greased the Moulds. Prepare the steamer and bring the water up to a boil. Combined flour and salt together. Mix well and set it aside.
2. Whisk eggs with sugar and vanilla until mixture is thick and pale in color. Using spatula, fold in flour and coconut milk in small amounts till well mixed.
3. Divide mixture into 4 equal parts. Stir in red coloring into one part, green into the 2nd part, yellow into the 3rd part and blue into the 4th part.
4. Put about 2 tbsp of each color of the batter into the jelly mould. One color on top of each other. Steamed for 35 - 40 minutes or skewer comes out clean when tested.
5. Let it cool in the mould for 10 minutes before removing the cake from the mould. Cool completely before cutting it.


Note: If you steamed them in little silicon moulds or muffin pan it will only takes 15-18 minutes to cook.

i'm looking at the picture of the mould and there are lines or designs on the surface of the mould, are they just patterns or is it there for a purpose?
