How to make Steamed Flour Cake
-
Mix the cake batter
First, mix the sugar with the milk, then add the yeast and stir well. Cover and let it sit for about 5 – 10 minutes for the yeast to activate.
Put the butter in a bowl, and steam it to melt.
Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the melted butter, and beat it well. Note that you should let the butter cool slightly before adding it to the eggs to avoid cooking the eggs.
Next, pour the combined butter into the bowl of flour and add the milk with yeast as well.
Mix the dough thoroughly and shape it into a large ball. Cover it with a lid or plastic wrap and let it rise for about 1 hour.
Tip: To check if your yeast is still active, you can soak a little yeast in warm water; if it bubbles up a lot, it means the yeast is still good.

After the fermentation time, when the dough has doubled in size, take the dough out and knead it thoroughly for about 10 minutes.
Next, divide the dough into equal small portions and shape them into round forms, then place them into the rice cooker. Let the dough rise for another 15 minutes.
Crack 1 egg yolk into a bowl and beat it well. Then, use a brush to apply the egg wash on the surface of the dough.
After applying the egg wash, sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the cake. Then place the cake in the rice cooker and cook for about 15 minutes.

Here’s a little tip for you
For fried wheat flour cakes
- You should not mix eggs and other common ingredients into the flour and then beat them, but beat the eggs separately to make the cake fluffier and crispier.
- Do not add water to the cake batter as it will make the cake softer, chewier, and less tasty.
- Do not fry the cake over high heat as it will easily burn.
For steamed wheat flour cakes
- If you have a dough mixer, you should use it to save more time.
- When brushing eggs on the cake, only apply a very thin layer.
- When using a non-nonstick rice cooker, remember to brush oil or line with parchment paper to prevent the cake from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
