Steamed rice sponge cake (Apam Tepung Beras aka Apam Salju) 蒸米糕



Nowadays every 'Qing Ming' festival (visit to grave yard to pay respect to ancestors), I prefer to prepare homemade cake or kuih to bring over to graveyard.
This time I made a new rice cake, that using cooked rice, and it taste quite similar to Chinese steamed white rice cake ( 白糖糕), very nice rice aroma, soft and has slight QQ texture !! Thanks to Zila for kind sharing.
