Putu Ayu Indonesian traditional steam cupcakes

To everybody who just stumble to my blog post and who actually request about this recipe just notice that I'm Indonesian, and i want to introduce to you one of Indonesian traditional cake. It is an easy to make, i promise you. I'm not a very good cook so i always find ways to make lot of our traditional food as easy as possible but still delicious. This recipe is also a modification since i substitute grated coconut with grated cheese

Without futher chit chat here is the recipe:

Putu Ayu Indonesian Steam Cupcakes

Ingredients

125 gr all purpose flour
150 gr sugar
3 eggs
150 ml coconut milk (you can use the can one, and find it at Chinese Store)
1 tbsp vanilla 
1 tbsp baking powder/cake emulsifier
1/4 tbsp salt
1/2 tbsp green food coloring (optional)
1/3 cup of grated cheese/coconut

Directions

1. Grease 15 cupcake mold ( i use olive oil )

2. Using electric mixer, beat sugar and eggs on high speed until pale and creamy

3. Pour the flour in to the mix and then coconut milk gradually, stirring until it blended well. Put salt and baking powder into to batter, stir well.

4. Put the green food coloring and stir it well

5. Heat the steamer, make sure it hot before you put the cake mold

6. Put the grated cheese into each mold, press firmly into the base

7. Put the cake mold to steamer, wait a bit before you pour the cake batter until the mold is full

8. Close the steamer and reduce the heat, then steam for 15-20 minutes until a toothpick into the centre comes out clean

9. When the cakes are cooked, leave to the stand for 5 minutes. Run a dull/butter knife around the edge of each mould, then ease the cake out onto a plate.

And your steam cupcakes done.
