Mara cake

2025-01-30 14:59:20 1026

A classic Cantonese style tea house pastry, loved by everyone for its golden color, which is very fluffy and soft when eaten fresh, with a slight aroma. It is also a snack that cats have loved since childhood. In the past, my mother would always make a large portion, which could not be eaten in one meal, and the next meal would be considered cool and delicious. It also has such a chewy texture that even steaming is saved. Just grab one piece and you can go out. It's delicious and worry free.

Steps to make Mara cake

1. Weigh the ingredients properly.
2. Put flour into a bowl, add white sugar and mix well.
3. Add milk.
4. Two eggs.
5. Stir until the sugar is completely melted and the batter is smooth without particles. When the batter drips, it will form a layered state. At this point, let the batter stand for 2 hours to relax.
After 6.2 hours, add melted butter to the batter and mix well.
7. Add a little water to the baking powder and stir well. Then add it to the batter and stir evenly.
8. When pouring into the mold, it is best to use a non stick mold. If not, a piece of oil paper or a thin layer of oil should be placed in the mold to avoid sticking to the bottom after demolding.
After the water in the pot boils, steam it for 30 minutes. When removing the lid, be careful not to let sweat drip onto the surface of the cake, as it can affect the taste.
