Kek Masam Manis

This is hubby most favourite cake. This among the simplest cake someone can made as it don't require any flour. Instead of using the flour like any other cake, you use biscuit flour, meaning you blend the biscuits to flour. The kind of biscuits I recommend is 'biskut marie' as it taste sweeter and quite nice compared to other biscuits.



Although it is simple, you are warned that the process of making this cake is quite long. In my case, I started making it at 9 a.m. and its ready by 2 p.m. You have to steam it layer by layer depending on what baking pan you are using. Then, for every layer, you have to top it by the 'asam manis' or Haw Flakes.You can find it at any Chinese grocery shop. After all layer has been steamed and layered, then only you bake it in the oven. (There a lot of method of making this cake. I'm using a recipe from my mom's friend)



Ingredients:



1 1/2 butter

7 eggs

2 glass of castor sugar

1/4 glass of sweetened cream

2 1/2 glass of biscuit flour (blend the biscuits)

1 spoon of baking powder

1 spoon of vanilla essence

colouring ( I always use green)

Haw flakes





Methods:

1. Beat butter and sugar together until smooth.
