This is a quick cake to bake. Easy preparation using a steamer and some fresh ingredients. It is a simple Chinese traditional cake way back to my mother’s time.

Ingredients 

• 4 eggs
• 150g castor sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
• 180g self-raising flour,sifted
• 50ml 7-up ( I use Sprite carbonated drink )

Method

1. Whisk eggs until frothy, slowly add sugar and continue to whisk until very thick and creamy, add vanilla and whisk well.
2. Fold in sifted flour in 3 batches, add 7-up and mix well.
3. Pour into a 18cm(7″) round bamboo steaming tray lined with wet white cloth or greased-proof paper, steam with high heat for 30 minutes until cooked. Voila!

To ensure good results:

The eggs used must be big and very fresh.

Whisk eggs and sugar until very thick and creamy.

Fold in flour and 7-up in one direction with light movement.
