My Mom's Steamed Egg Cake ( Kueh Nee Gor)

My mom make her own steamed egg cake for the 9th day of CNY(Pai Ting Gong).It's a must prayer for Hokkien people to give prayer to the God of Heaven.Usually my mom would make 5 steamed egg cake during this special day.My cousin and aunties requested my mom to make this special steam egg cake for them .They said the one they buy at the stall market don't use eggs instead they use baking powder and baking soda to replace eggs.Maybe it's cheaper in cost without eggs,right? I ,as a observer won't miss the chance to ask my mom for this special steam egg cake recipe.

Look at the texture...of "kueh nee goh"..freshly steam..look moist,right?

4:Mixed the other half dough with cocoa powder and swirl over the dough in the basket,marble effect as show below.

Note:

Steam for 30 mins at high heat.Do not open the cover while steaming.When adding flour while whisking,the speed must be reduced to low if not the cake is going to be heavy,rough and tough,won't be puffy and light.Or you can just mix the flour manually ,don't let it seat.Also take note that the heat must be high while steaming or else the cake won't come up nicely and puffy.

Good Luck and Happy Baking!!
