Hello everyone.
I am sharing my wife's attempt to make bolu kukus. The last attempt was a failure because the steamed cakes she made looked like little helmets. I found them quite funny, but my wife was not very happy. So, after contemplating for days, she was ready to make another attempt.
For making the bolu kukus, we prepared these ingredients:
- 400 gram of wheat flour
- 350 gram of sugar
- 2 spoon full of cake emulsifier
- soda water
- four eggs
- food color
- vanilla essence
And we also need some other tools: paper cup, cups for placing the cake in the steamer, steamer and mixer.
To start making the cake, she mix all the ingredients (except the cake emulsifier) in a basin. She then continued mixing the dough with an electric mixer for about 10 minutes. She stopped the mixer, and add two spoon full of emulsifier before turning the electric mixer again for another 15 minutes.
And the dough was ready.
From the main basin where the dough was placed, she took some of it to put on three little bowls. Each dough in every ball is given different color: red, brown and green. Look at at the photo.
Then, she put the dough in the paper cup. First, the white dough, and then the three colored doughs on top of it. She got about 45 paper cup filled with the dough.
The last step was to put the dough in the steamer and steam them for 15 minutes.
Fifteen minutes later, my wife laughed. The bolu kukus turned to be perfect. The cake has risen like flower, not like little helmet.
