My 6 year old prefers to call these cakelets as boat cakes as they resemble boat shape to him 🙂
They are best served fresh and warm, nothing can beat the flavor and texture when the cakes are freshly made 😀
To make these cakelets, you will need a specific pan such as shown. They are available online or at baking store, and they are on the heavy side, with a lid on top.
This pan can be used not just on fire top stove but also glass top stove and also in oven.
You will also need chocolate rice or Dutch hagelslag. They may appear the same as sprinkles/jimmies, but they are so much better than regular sprinkles which are made of sugar and egg white. Chocolate rice are made of milk, butter and chocolate. Available online, Asian store, or at a specialty store.
