Bolu Sakura

30 Days of Indonesia #21 – Bolu Sakura

For Day 21 of my 30 Days of Indonesia through food, promoting Indonesia during this fasting month of Ramadhan, I made Bolu Sakura, caramel sponge cake.

This is my youngest’s favorite cake, while it’s still warm. He could have 3 of them in one sitting (the size isn’t too big, depending on your mold, mine is like half size of a regular cupcake). Yesterday as he realized I was steaming these cakelettes, as soon as I took them out of the steamer to cool, he did not want to wait. I asked him to wait at least for 5 mins (so that I could snap a picture or two), and nope, he wasn’t having that. 5 minutes was up, he grabbed the plate away from me. Did not even have time to release the cake from the mold ?

ingredients

• 90 g sugar
• 175 ml, hot boiling water
• 100 g flour
• 1/4 tsp each of BPowder, BSoda, Speculaas powder (if not allspice, or mixture of cinnamon power, clove powder, and nutmeg powder)
• a pinch of salt
• cooking oil for greasing mold
• 1/2 tbsp vegan margarine, melted

how to

• turn sugar into caramel, then slowly pour in hot boiling water, set aside to cool
• mix the rest of the ingredients (but margarine) in a bowl
• preheat steamer and grease molds
• pour in syup into flour mixture, followed with melted margarine, pour into molds
• steam for 25 mins

Next time I will prepare these cakelettes when babe isn’t around so I would be able to show you how pretty these cakelettes are once unmolded. They are sooo good, soft and tasty. Give this recipe a try, you won’t regret it ?
