Cover the lid with kitchen towel to prevent condensation from the lid from falling on to the steamed cakes (please dont skip!). Fill a steamer with water. Cover the pan with the lid and slowly bring water to boil.
Melt the butter and oil together with double boiling method. Set aside to let it cool down. In another bowl, Sieve together flour, baking powder, salt and vanillin powder. Bought this flour at wet market, malay store.
In a big bowl, using electric mixer, beat the eggs and sugar and ovalett with high speed until the mixture has thickened and turned a very pale yellow/white. About 10 minutes
Gently fold the flour mixture to the egg mixture using spatula. Do not overmix
Lastly, mix in the butter/oil mixture, gently fold it in until no more oil is seen (using rubber spatula). Pls check the bottom of the bowl too. If we dont mix properly, cake will be hard.
Oh y, dont forget to grease the pan and dust some flour to avoid the cake from sticking after baking
Steam the cake for 40 minutes or until the toothpick come out clean. Ready to serve
