My friend CP is a fantastic baker.
A few weeks ago, I asked her if she would be willing to share some of her recipes with the readers of Rasa Malaysia and she gladly said yes.
I chose four baking recipes from her, which I will be posting in the next few weeks.
They are all great stuff, and I hope you will love what she shares with us.
Spongey Chinese Mini Egg Cake
This mini egg cake or 鸡蛋糕, caught my attention when I was going through her photos.
These mini cakes were my favorite when I was growing up as my mother would always buy them from the market, and I would snack on it the whole day: breakfast, tea, supper… or whenever I am hungry.
So this recipe does bring back a lot of childhood memories.
