Doraemon Steamed Cakes

Ang-ang-ang! Doraemon has been one of my favourite cartoons to watch as a child alongside Banana in Pyjamas, Pink Panther and Power Ranger! As I was baking a Doraemon Rainbow Cake for a themed party, I baked some Doraemon Steamed Cakes too!

 These steamed cakes taste similar to the steamed egg cakes I used to have as a kid. The recipe was adapted from Angela Chia's video on Facebook. In her video, yield was not indicated (video showed that one would get 6 cupcakes but I got way more cupcakes than that [how misleading!]). I truly thought that somewhere somehow, I got the recipe wrong. 

In any case, this recipe is perfect for those who do not have ovens but yet wish to have some nice snacks! This recipe is relatively simple to do so I'm giving it a difficulty level 3 out of 5. It takes about 30 - 45 minutes in all to steam about 10 - 13 cupcakes depending on your steamer. I could only steam 7 at once so I did them in 2 batches. However, please do not whip up a super large batch at once and then let them sit for hours before steaming them. I'd suggest a maximum of 15 - 20 mins at max between whisking the batter and steaming them. 

Puteri Ayu (Steamed mini pandan coconut cakes)

I happen to chance upon these moulds when I was in the supermarket yesterday and I recalled the Puteri Ayu recipe I saw on Nasi Lemak Lover! I decided to buy it cos it was merely a dozen for close to 2 bucks (: I modified a lil' of the recipe and enjoyed this warm snack! This took me about an hour to cook and prepare (including blending).
