Traditional Malay Desserts
Kuih Bahulu
I remember enjoying Kuih Bahulu during school days. These traditional Asian desserts are mini sponge cakes which are spongy and slightly dry in texture and great to be served with coffee or milk tea during breakfast.

These mini sponge cakes are some of the best desserts to enjoy even for tea and we are pleased to have included the baking variant in the baking recipes here. Traditionally, these cakes are baked over charcoal fire which will take much time to cook.Traditionally made for the Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebrations, these sweet little things are now enjoyed throughout the year by people from all walks of life.
Ingredients 100 g Plain Flour
1 tbsp Tapioca Flour
1/4 tsp Baking Powder
4 Eggs
90 g Castor Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla Essence
Method
Sift plain flour together with tapioca flour and baking powder. Set aside first. Beat eggs with castor sugar until stiff and frothy. Add in vanilla essence. Fold in egg batter into sifted flour mixture until batter is smooth. Lightly grease bahulu mould and spoon batter 3/4 full into each mould to allow cake to rise. Bake in preheated oven at 220°C for 5 - 8 minutes. Remove each bahulu once they are baked and fill up with the next batch. Bahulu cakes are best kept in airtight container.
