Ingredients
Scale
Batter Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Topping
- Additional shredded cheese for topping (about 1/4 cup)
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and mix with the milk. Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until smooth. Fold in half of the shredded cheese into the batter to incorporate the cheese flavor evenly.
- Pour batter into molds: Grease small heatproof molds or silicone molds lightly with oil or butter. Pour the prepared batter into the molds, filling them about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
- Top with cheese: Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top of each mold to create a cheesy crust once steamed.
- Steam the cakes: Place the molds into a steamer basket. Steam over boiling water for 15-20 minutes, or until the cakes are set and fluffy. Avoid lifting the lid during steaming to ensure even cooking.
- Cool and serve: Carefully remove the molds from the steamer and allow the Mushi Pan to cool for a few minutes before removing them from the molds. Serve warm or at room temperature as a savory snack or breakfast treat.
Notes
- You can substitute the cheese with different varieties like mozzarella or parmesan for a different flavor profile.
- Do not skip the steeping step as it greatly affects the fluffiness of the cake.
- Ensure the water is boiling before placing the molds inside to get an even steam.
- Use silicone molds for easy removal of the cake or lightly grease metal molds.
- This cake is best consumed fresh but can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
