What is all-purpose flour?
- All-purpose flour (bột mì đa dụng, plain flour), also known as flour number 11, is a type of flour with a high protein content of about 11.5 – 12% and is commonly used for making chewy types of bread such as bread, bánh gối, or pizza. The high protein content in the flour combines well with yeast to create the chewiness of the bread when completed.
- Currently, all-purpose flour has two main types: bleached and unbleached. It is recommended to choose white all-purpose flour from well-known brands such as: Meizan all-purpose flour, Hoa Ngọc Lan all-purpose flour, Red Apple all-purpose flour, Tài Ký all-purpose flour,…

How to make Thai Steamed Coconut Cake
-
Mix the cake batter
First, add 250gr of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder into a sieve, sift the flour finely, and then transfer it to a bowl.
In a new bowl, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 80gr of white granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of lemon juice, 60ml of coconut milk, 30ml of cooking oil, and 100ml of coconut water. Use a whisk to mix until the mixture is well combined.
Next, gradually add the sifted flour into the coconut mixture while whisking to prevent clumping.
Continue to stir the batter until it thickens and becomes smooth. Then, let the batter rest for 30 minutes.
-
Pour the batter into molds
After letting the batter rest, prepare the cake molds by pouring the batter into cupcake paper molds, then add a little shredded coconut on top of each batter-filled mold.
-
Steam the cake
You pour about 500ml of water into the steamer to boil. When the water boils, you place the steaming basket with the prepared cake molds on top, cover it tightly, and steam for 13 – 15 minutes.
After steaming for 15 minutes, you open the steamer and gently poke the cake with a toothpick; if the toothpick comes out clean without sticking to the batter, the cake is fully cooked.
