Direction

1. start to boil about 130g of water in a small pot in medium-low heat. Cover the pot with a glass lid with a steam vent.

2.  mix {C} ingredients in a small glass. Set aside.

3. in a clean and dry mixing bowl, beat egg white with salt, fine sugar, and raw sugar till reaching firm peak. Mix in yolks and beat till reaching ribbon stage as {A}.

4. mix in 1/3 of {B} to {A} using an electric hand mixer.

5. pour and mix in 1/2 of {C} mixture. Continue to mix in the remaining {B} and {C} in alternating sequence. End the mixing with {B}. Use a silicone spatula to do a final mixing into a smooth batter.


6. pour 1/2 of the batter into one 135x45mm round pan lined with parchment paper.  Lightly rap the pan to level the  batter.

7. scatter {D} mixture over the top of the batter in the pan.


8. mix {E} to the remaining 1/2 of the batter, and pour over {D}. 



Rap the pan to level the batter.

9. lower the cake pan into the pot of boiling water, and stand on a steamer rack. Steam at medium-low heat for 5 minutes; lower to low heat and continue to steam for 8 minutes. Turn off the heating, without opening the lid, let the cake simmer for 5 minutes to gradually “cool down”. 

10. open the lid carefully. Drop the cake with pan over a cloth thrice. Let the cake cool down for 5 minutes before lifting out of the cake pan. 

Cut the cake after cooling down.
