When you have nothing to eat in the morning, you can easily mix and steam some batter to make the Steamed Nescafe Soft Cakes. It takes only 45 minutes to make them as long as you have sugar, self-raining flour, baking powder, baking soda, oil or butter, eggs and Nescafe at home. They are good for tea-time too. They also make a good gift if you are visiting someone as these (I am certain) are not sold in shops.
Ingredients:
- Dry Ingredients:
- 150 g self-raising flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp Nescafe instant coffee powder
- 110 g brown sugar (can be slightly more)
- Wet Ingredients:
- 3 eggs
- 65 g corn oil or melted butter
- 100 g hot water
Method:
- Dissolve instant coffee powder in hot water. Set aside for it to cool down.
- Sieve self-raising flour, baking powder and baking soda.
- Beat eggs and sugar till sugar dissolves.
- Add corn oil or melted butter to the egg mixture and whisk till they are combined.
- Add the instant coffee liquid to it. Mix.
- Add flour mixture to it and use a whisk to combine till no lumps can be seen.
- Sieve the batter.
- Pour the batter into 8 cup cake liners in a muffin tin.
- Boil water in a steamer.
- When the water has boiled steam the batter for 30 minutes over high heat. (Cover your steamer cover with cloth to prevent water from dripping onto your batter.)
- Remove the cakes from the muffin tin immediately after they are cooked onto a metal rack.
