How to Make Easy Steamed Sponge Cake
- Whisk together 4 large eggs and ¾ cup granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes using a stand or hand mixer).
- Gently fold in ½ cup all-purpose flour, ¼ teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix until just combined.
- Add 2 tablespoons of milk and 1 tablespoon of melted unsalted butter. Mix on low speed for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
- Line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper, allowing the sides to extend over the edge for easy removal later.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and sprinkle generously with sesame seeds (optional).
- Place the cake pan in a wok or large pot with a few inches of simmering water (using a steamer basket or heat-safe rack to keep the pan above the water).
- Cover the wok and steam for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Carefully remove the cake from the wok and let it cool completely before serving. Enjoy warm or cold!
