RICE FLOUR CAKE

Steps:

• Coat an 8-inch square or round cake pan with olive or canola oil spray. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 350 deg F.
• Cream the butter with the sugar until well blended.
• Add eggs and vanilla, beating with a wire whisk.
• Add flour and baking powder and continue to beat until well mixed.
• Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake the cake for 40 to 45 minutes or until done when tested with a toothpick.

CHINESE STEAMED CAKE

Steps:

• Arrange a large bamboo steamer or a large vegetable steamer over simmering water.
• Make sure it is large enough to hold the baking pan.
• Line a 9 inch square pan with waxed paper.
• Separate the eggs.
• Place the yolks in a large bowl along with the sugar and water.
• Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture has increased about three times in volume.
• Whisk together the flour and the baking powder; sift this over the egg mixture, and fold in gently.
• Blend in the extract.
• Whip the egg whites in a clean bowl to stiff, not dry, peaks.
• Fold into yolk base.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and smooth out to edges.
• Rap the pan on the counter to get rid of large air bubbles.
• Place the pan into the steamer.
• Cover the top of the steamer with a kitchen towel, and place the lid on top; the towel will absorb any steam that collects on top from dripping onto the cake.
• Steam for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Cool on a wire rack.
• Dust with confectioner's sugar.
