Kek Gula Hangus 焦糖蛋糕 , by Philips All-In-One Pressure Cooker

Kek Gula Hangus, or some called as Kek Sarang semut, is a local cake that using caramelized sugar. I was very pleased with the result of this cake using Philips All-In-One pressure cooker Bake mode , nice burnt and deep colour, and smelly good of caramelized sugar.

I have put the making process in this video, check it out !

Beautiful honeycomb crumb !

Even i have reduced the amount of condensed milk, still feel a bit sweet . Maybe i should reduce 50g sugar next time, but just afraid the colour will not so deep. If you try, let me know the result ya.
