【Easy Cake RECIPE】No Custard Powder Low Sugar Ma Lai Cake |
Good Morning! I must say I am addicted to making Ma Lai Gou! Especially find the rising part when steaming so therapeutic!
Understand from some members on FB that you can't find custard powder during this lockdown period to make the earlier recipe: http://foodplayground.blogspot.com/2020/05/easy-cake-recipelow-sugar-no-yeast-no.html
So me, as your guinea pig, try out this recipe and luckily it turns out well. Phew! So here I share my recipe in video and written form for your better understanding.
Q: How to achieve the yellow colour without custard powder?
A: I did not use artificial colouring, I used turmeric powder. Just a toothpick size will do, as you don't want your cake to have nasi brayani taste.
Q: Will the cake have the turmeric after taste?
A: No, as I only use a very little amount of turmeric powder, and the vanilla essence or extract will mask out the taste of turmeric.
早上好！我又再做马拉糕了！不只是为了喜欢吃，也喜欢那蒸的时候糕慢慢发起来的视觉享受！很疗愈的，相信我！
脸书有人反应，这阻断期间很难买到卡仕达粉（custard powder)，所以我就想出了这个方法。自己先做白老鼠，看一看是否成功。好彩！成功了！所以在此用影片和文字分享，让你更了解情况。
Q：没有卡仕达粉，如何取得马拉糕的黄色效果？
A：我没有用人造色素，只用了黄姜粉。只需要牙签般的分量就够了。太多的话，你的马拉糕会变成黄姜饭！
Q：加了黄姜粉，马拉糕会有黄姜粉的余味吗？
A：不会的，因为只用那么一丁点，而且香精油的香味会盖过黄姜粉的味道，所以放心。
