SODA BLOSSOM STEAM CAKE / APAM SODA MEKAR

Soda Blossom Steam Cake is d easiest steam cake ever... 

BUT

 d challenge is to make sure that during d steaming, d cake cracks and blossoms. That's the trademark of this soda blossom steam cake, if your cake didn't crack.. that means, you failed in your attempts... Sorry to say that u got to re-do it again. Do not worry, as it is normal to fail in your first attempt. Many had that bad experience in fact many had failed in several attempts.

There are few versions of steam cake with d same appearance but different taste.. Some with soda some not.. Some with ENO and some not.. some with rice flour and some with normal flour... However, the important aspect of this type of cake is, CRACK & BLOSSOM... some even called it as SMILING..

See.. they r all cracking & smiling..

Bermula dari hujung minggu lepas hinggalah ke awal minggu ini, ogyep sibuk mengAPAM, bagi memenuhi tempahan pelanggan.. Bila dah mengukus tu... mulut ni tak kering jugalah, asyik mengemam si apam tu... Badan pun dah naik kembang macam si apam-apam tu..


Resepi Apam ini, sudah lama berada di dalam simpanan dan memang sering ogyep buat.. Apam ini diperkenalkan oleh teman sekerja semasa mula2 bekerja dulu, lebih kurang 16 tahun yang lepas.
Rata-ratanya, sahabat blogger masakan pun memang sudah arif dengan resepi ini... 


Kepada yang berminat, bolehlah mencuba..
