The other day i bought these little cute bundt moulds and thinking to use it to make jelly. I was not realized that actually peoples are using this mould to make Puteri Ayu (steamed mini sponge cake). When i saw Amelia dessert posted her Puteri Ayu, i quickly give it a try..Frankly i have never eaten this cake before..Once we tasted this, all my family members were very impressed with this mini steamed sponge cake, the 1st batched i did just gone in the same day, and they were asking for more...
very easy to make but yet still resulted very good sponge cake..

Launch of My Kedai Runcit (Shop)
I have been receiving many readers asking me where to buy this and that. I try to provide them with the shop address but some couldn't go there because the distance or not familiar with the area. Sometime i help to buy for them. ..So i came out with this idea of My Kedai Runcit (shop) I will help to source of the baking items, traditional moulds or whatever items or ingredients that you have seen in my blog. I will pack them and ship to you and you pay for the shipping cost..I know i will not earn much out of this (that's why i called my shop as kedai runcit, earning few cents and ringgit only ^_^), but i just like to help to who has the same passion like me (love to cook and bake!!)..
Please refer to top right page for My Kedai Runcit..Oversea buyers are welcome too, but you need to consider of the shipping cost (afraid the shipping cost is more than items cost) before you decide to place an order..
Happy Shopping !!
I have discontinued My Kedai Runcit, kindly take note..
I love this Malay steamed cake, u have done it beautifully Sonia.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the opening of ur new shop!
Beautiful putri ayu you hv there Sonia! Just like pandan chiffon cake, can't stop munching them. :)

ReplyDeleteI have been a lurker of your blog for over a year and really amazed at your cooking skills. I am going to try several of your recipes and will definitely use your "shopping service" which I am excited about. I am oversea (US) and aware of the shipping cost. Thank you for starting the service and please keep cooking and posting it for all of us to enjoy.

ReplyDeletehi sonia, the kedai runcit idea is awesome...i wanted to ask you where to get the pork skewers thing but already purchased the usual one to see if work or not first. :)
ReplyDeleteSonia, you really need a rest now b4 the biz starts! I certainly believe that you are not doing this for money & you cook.bake is purely due to the interest! I'm so glad to know someone like you, hahaha!
ReplyDeleteHey these mini bundt moulds look so familiar, gagaga! That's right, I remember you told me b4 that they can be used for making jelly only & now I can use them for steaming sponge cake, brilliant!
1 question, Sonia, if I can't find cake emulsier(& don't want to use it), what should I be using as a substitute?
Jessie, you can read my mind, hehehe..I also thinking to omit the emulsier next time to see the difference, so for this moment I could not tell you yet.
ReplyDeleteHi Sonia, these little beauties sure look mouthwatering. Love your recipes. Great idea on the kedai runcit :)
ReplyDeletelooks gorgeous! i like the softness of steamed cakes, and it just reminds me of those traditional delights from home. this is one recipe I really would love to try. they look so pretty!

ReplyDeleteI came across your blog and found your lovely pandan cake. I live in Malaysia currently and see these cakes quite often. I love the pandan flavor in the cake and the steaming makes it so soft and moist. Beautiful shade of green, too. Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDelete~ marie, the EpicureanPiranha
Congrats on your new shop. This mini cakes look so pretty and I am sure they taste good as well.
ReplyDeleteWhere can I get the mould from I really wants some
ReplyDeletedear Angel @ Cook.Bake.Love For your information, that beautiful steamed cake is from Indonesia. not malaysia. thanks and wish you remember it :)
ReplyDeleteHi!where did you buy the molders you used?can i order?reply back pls
ReplyDeleteMay I ask what is ovelette? And how much to use?
ReplyDeleteI just came back from a trip to Penang and I picked up this mold at a kitchen supply store - I had never heard of this dessert but I knew it was something different and unique I wouldn't be able to find here in NY. I always like trying new things - thx for the recipe - can't wait to try it!
ReplyDeleteI finally tried these today and they came out so delicious - thx again for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteI tried it nut used mini tins instead. Is that why they came out rock hard and not soft. Only steamed it for 10 mins is it right to use 150g of flour. Also. When you blend the cocount milk and pandan. I had only 60 of the liquid left remaining. Is that correct. Thanks
