Egg sponge cake (new way of Kuih Bahulu), 鸡蛋糕

Egg sponge cake (new way of Kuih Bahulu)


I got this idea making Kueh Bahulu in new way after I watched a TV food show talk about a traditional bakery shop in Penang selling those traditional of Chinese wedding cookies (Hei Peng) which includes kuih bahulu (egg sponge cake) 鸡蛋糕. This is one of my favourite childhood's cake. Since I don't have the traditional mould, I just bake it in muffin pan.







Egg sponge cake (new way of Kuih Bahulu)



To make sure a nice sponge cake, I beat the eggs +sugar using KA mixer for 30mins over low speed till thick and creamy. If follow traditional way of using hand to beat, i think my hands will be broken after beating, hahaha..

Method
1. Sift cake flour and baking powder, set aside.
2. Beat eggs and sugar over low speed in a mixer for 30mins or until the batter is thick and creamy (or you can write a letter "O" on the surface of batter and it should stay there for few seconds)
3. Add in melted butter spoon by spoon.
4. Slowly add in flour mixture, also spoon by spoon until batter well combined.
5. Pre-heat oven at 180c and also heat muffin pan in the oven at the same time.
6. Remove muffin pan, brush butter on the bottom and side of each muffin mould
7. Pour batter into muffin mould (about 80% full), bake for 20-25mins or until golden brown.

The additional of "kuaci" , made this cake so fragrant ! ! I'm going to take this with a cup of kopi "O" (black coffee), must be very yummy!

    Sonia, is this call "Kai Tan koh" in cantonese? If it is, when I was a little girl, my Mum used to bake this. This kuih bahulu of yours looks fluffy. Taking it with expresso will send me half way to paradise! hehe

  18. JanineMarch 7, 2011 at 8:23 PM

    It looks really soft - it's not a typo right? i've to beat the eggs and sugar for 30 minutes? Seems like quite a long time since I don't even knead my bread for that long :/

    So pretty, Sonia. Wondering if I can beat the egg using high speed so I don't need to beat for so long? Will make any difference?

  22. Sonia ~ Nasi Lemak LoverMarch 7, 2011 at 10:07 PM

    Janine and Min, yes, my advise to you to beat for 30mins over low speed as to get a fine texture 细密 .

  34. Small Small BakerMarch 8, 2011 at 7:57 AM

    So beating the batter on low speed for 30 minutes must be the key to making good Kuih Bahulu! Very tempting, but I dunno my hand mixer will get overheated or not. ;)

    Hi Sonia, at last, I'm going to bake this very soon, before this CNY. If you still remember how to make this, I want to check with you when do I stop beating the egg+sugar mixture, ok coz I've just finished reading many version of recipes but at last, I recall that you've made this before & Jane is on holidays, so you are the best person to ask & it's safe, haha.

    In short, do i beat the mixture till ribbon stage/soft peak?Many thanks
