Before you jump to Auntie's steamed zebra cake recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about Guidelines For Living Green And Saving Money In The Kitchen.
It was not that long ago that hippies and tree huggers were the only ones to show concern about the well-being of the environment. Those days are over, and it seems we all realize our role in stopping and conceivably reversing the damage being done to our planet. According to the industry experts, to clean up the environment we are all going to have to make some changes. These adjustments need to start occurring, and each individual family needs to become more environmentally friendly. Read on for some methods to go green and save energy, largely in the kitchen.
Perhaps the food isn't quite as good when cooked in the microwave, however it will save you money to use it over your oven. Possibly the realization that an oven makes use of 75% more energy will stimulate you to use the microwave more. Countertop appliances will certainly boil water or steam vegetables more rapidly than your stove, and use a lot less electricity. You could well be forgiven for thinking that an automatic dishwasher uses more energy than washing dishes the old-fashioned way, but you would be wrong. Especially if you make sure the dishwasher is full before starting a cycle. Don't dry the dishes by using heat, make use of the cool dry or air dry functions to increase the money you save.
The kitchen by itself gives you many small methods by which energy and money can be saved. Efficient living is actually something we can all accomplish, without difficulty. A lot of it is simply making use of common sense.
We hope you got insight from reading it, now let's go back to auntie's steamed zebra cake recipe. To cook auntie's steamed zebra cake you need 7 ingredients and 10 steps. Here is how you do it.
The ingredients needed to prepare Auntie's steamed zebra cake:
- You need 5 of eggs.
- Take 200 g of self-rising flour.
- You need 150 g of sugar.
- Take 150 ml of coconut milk.
- You need 1 tsp of vanilla essence.
- Provide 1/2 of salt.
- You need 2 tbsp of cocoa powder.
Instructions to make Auntie's steamed zebra cake:
- Put eggs, vanilla essence, salt and sugar in a mixing bowl, mix all ingredients using an electric mixer for 2 minutes, until all combined and form soft bubbles..
- Add in coconut milk and keep mixing..
- Add in flour slowly (batch by batch) whilst keep mixing the batter using electric mixer, until all well combined..
- Part the batter into two bowls (I am using 2 measuring jugs)..
- Add in the cocoa powder in one of the jug (or bowl) and mixed well. I shifted the chocolate powder before adding to mixing bowl, so it's easier to blend with the batter. By now you will have 2 batter chocolate and white..
- Using medium size baking tray (16x22cm) lightly buttered and dusted with flour already. Add in the batter from the middle of the mold/baking tray (alternating between white batter and chocolate batter). If you doing it correctly your batter will look like a bullseye shooting target..
- Prepare the steamer (I am using a wok), wrap the lid of the steamer with tea towel to prevent water dropping to the cake..
- Wait until water is bubbling, put the cake tray/mold to the steamer, cover and cook for 30 mins. Cook on high heat if using steamer, cook on medium heat if using a wok like me, as the cake tray placed directly to the water when using a wok (you don't want to use high heat with this method as water might go into the cake)..
- Do a test with a skewer. If stick come out clean, your cake is ready to be served. Make sure you put enough water in the steamer, your cake will be a fail if water runs out in the middle of steaming (assumed you didn't realise, it happened to me once). Keeping a consistent heat and steam is the key of success for this cake..
- Served your steam zebra cake warm with hot drinks. I am drinking my new favourite tea (chai masala tea). Recipe is here: https://cookpad.com/uk/recipes/12868381-masala-chai-tea?invite_token=2nY8nY99KkTVrcYVHchPv9TB&shared_at=1592369002.
