Bak Tong Gou (steamed White Cake) Recipe
  1. Sift 1¼ cup of rice flour.

  2. Activate the yeast by mixing 1 teaspoon of instant yeast with 2 tablespoons of 105°F to 110°F water.

  3. Mix 100 ml of room temperature water with the rice flour until it forms a lumpy consistency.

  4. Make a sugar syrup by boiling 200 ml of water and adding ¾ cup of white sugar, along with 2 pandan leaves (optional).

  5. Slowly pour the sugar syrup into the rice flour mixture and mix well.

  6. Add the activated yeast to the batter and mix for about a minute.

  7. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the batter ferment for 2-3 hours in a warm environment or in the microwave with a cup of hot water.

  8. After fermentation, add 1 teaspoon of cooking oil to the batter and mix well.

  9. Grease an 8-inch cake pan with oil and pour the batter into it.

  10. Steam the bak tong gou on medium-high heat for 20 minutes, checking at the 17-minute mark to see if it's cooked.

  11. Once cooked, let the bak tong gou cool for 30 minutes before removing it from the pan.
