happy father's day

i made my dad a traditional steam sponge cake yesterday, i grew up eating this cake, and it is the only kind of cake my father likes because it is light, healthy yet delicious. my dad is a super healthy man who never drink nor smoke, he wouldn't eat anything that is fat, he always reminds us the importance of healthy life. anyway, for father's day, i think there's nothing better than giving him his favorite childhood cake that is healthy and homemade. here's a recipe to share, very simple and straight forward:

ingredients:

6 eggs (yorks and whites seperated)
1 cup caster sugar
1 cup flour
thanks aiden for helping to sift the flour

beat the egg yolks and sugar with an electric mixer on high speed

blend in the flour bit by bit into the egg yolks. mix well on low speed.

beat the egg whites with the mixer on high speed until they form stiff peaks.

put the flour-egg mixture into the beaten egg whites. mix gently by spetula


pour the batter into a the cake pan and steam over high heat for about 30 mins.

the cake turned out to be really soft, moist and not too sweet. i knew my dad would love~
Hope all the fathers had a happy day today and stay healthy all the time!
