How to make Indonesian Roti Kukus- "Oma Spits" Family Recipe

Roti Kukus, a traditional Indonesian steamed sponge cake comes in many shapes and forms, such as cup cakes...This Asian cake is steamed instead of baked served with butter on top…This is the way my mom, "Oma Spits' makes her Roti Kukus cake...I love Indonesian snack food!...You can find this cake in China Town Bakery, but it is so much better homemade...Baking is my hobby...The good news is, that you can freeze this cake, then warm it up in the microwave...Enjoy!....Love and hugs, Erica

Don't open the steamer, no peeking, wait until the end, so it will rise and not collapse...Check with a toothpick for doneness....If you don't have a steamer, just boil some water in a medium to large sauce pan...Set a plastic colander bowl stainer, lined with light kitchen tea towel on the bottom and place it on top of saucepan...Cover with lined kitchen tea towel, so it won't get the cake wet...Steam for at least 50 minutes, with no peeking...
