Steamed Cake with Wolfberry


My laptop has been infected with virus since few days ago, and I can only get it repaired when I'm back in Singapore in two weeks time. In the mean time, I have to use a spare computer at home which is slow and hangs very often. It is too frusrating to use this computer, and so I'm now spending less time on the internet. I'm start to visit all of your blogs when my own laptop is up and running!

Steamed Cake with Wolfberry Recipe

Ingredients:
115g egg white (about 3 eggs)
85g caster sugar
140g self-raising flour
1g salt
35ml milk
10ml olive oil
80g dry wolfberry


Method:
1)Lightly grease a 9X5-inch baking pan with olive oil, then line the pan with baking paper. Soak wolfberry in a bowl of water for 3-5 minutes, dish out and then pat dry with paper towel.
2) In a medium bowl, whisk egg white with an electric mixer until foamy. Continue to whisk and at the same time, add sugar in 3 batches. Whip the egg white until stiff peak forms
3) Sift flour and salt over egg white mixture. Using a wide spatula, fold the mixture until just combined.
4) Mix milk, oil and 60g of wolfberry in a bowl, pour over egg white mixture. Fold the mixture until well combined.
5) Sprinkle remaining 20g of wolfberry on the cake. Pour the batter into the baking pan, steam in medium heat for 20 mins.

Other than brocoli and such, I never tried to steam any of my cooking... I think it's time for me to take a walk through Chinatown for some steam baskets... and try this!

Thanks for sharing, Piggy!

Too bad about your laptop, hopefully it's fixed soon. I don't think I've ever had a wolfberry. The cake sounds and looks delicious.

I love steamed cakes and the addition of wolfberry sounds very intriguing. When we were very young my mum would buy this for us as treats whenever she goes to the "wet" market to get her weekly fresh produce.

I know some of the bloggers are infected with virus in their msn. Thus I am deleting their contacts to prevent further damaged.

Hope to catch up with you when you are back.

Now no more reason to sit down, start exercising hor.

Can I use raisins for this one? I do not think I can look for wolfberries here in the Philippines.

Anonymous @ 13 Nov 2012 - Yes, you can use raisins instead of wolfberries. I'm sure that it will taste good too!

Can I don't omit the egg yolks? Will there be any difference in texture and taste?

Anonymous @ 4 Jan 2013 - Egg whites can be beaten to stiff peak stage but it is impossible to do so with whole eggs. The purpose of beating egg whites is to incorporate air into the batter and thus resulted in soft and fluffy cakes.
