Making Steamed Pink Cake

Hello, everyone. I'd like to share with you all how we made pink steamed cake or in our language it's called apem.

My wife likes to experiment with making new cake. Some time we failed, and I don't share the failed cake. Only those that worked.

This time we tried to make apem or the pink steamed cake (I called it). It is a bit similar process with the steamed cake I shared before, but there were few differences.

For the ingredients we used: wheat flour, rice flour, sugar, cake emulsifier, baking powder, pandan leaves, vanilla essence, coconut milk and food color.

sugar, vanilla essence, wheat flour, rice flour, baking powder, cake emulsifier, and coconut milk.

At the beginning, we mixed the wheat flour, rice flour, sugar, baking powder, cake emulsifier, vanilla essence and coconut milk together in a basin. We added a little bit water to make it more liquid. We also cut a little bit of pandan leaves and put it into the mix to give it good aroma.

mix all ingredients.

Next, we put the food color to the mix. To mix it well, we stirred so the color of the mix turn pink altogether.
add some food color.

we had pink mix, you can choose any other color, for example green color.

Then we put this liquid mix into little cups. These little cups were then placed in the steamer.

prepare the small cups, we only made few cups since this was only an experiment.

Pour the mix into the small cups.

we had all cups filled.

steam the mix.

Steaming the cake only needed about fifteen minutes. Once fifteen minutes was over, we opened the steam pan lid. And there you are! We had the pink cake already cook perfectly.

Voila, the cakes were ready. Three cakes turned ugly because they did not rise.

These were our apem or pink steamed cake.

Some cake risen perfectly, some only rise a little bit. But we were quite happy with the result.

So, that's our experiment with the pink cake. Thanks for reading.
