Kuih Bahulu / Ji Dan Gao 烘鸡蛋糕

Earlier I made the old-fashioned of kuih Bahulu ( egg sponge cake) by adding Soda drink method. This time I tried with difference method, adding some raising agent (use self-raising flour) and add more sugar. As I know more sugar resulted more crispy and hard crust of kuih bahulu.
