Back again with Indonesian Food edition ^_^ Today I am sharing you a nice steamed sponge cake, yes you read right!, that is topped with spicy ground beef.
This “cake” can be served as a snack to accompany your afternoon tea or as light meal.
You can steam it in loaf pan, square pan, or round pan, whichever you wish.

When my mother was still doing catering, she made this cake often. I love this cake a lot hahah Mine isn’t as good looking as my mother’s tho, she had many kinds of molds, while for this one I only used a round baking pan 🙂
