CHINESE STEAMED CAKE
Although real Chinese dinners usually end with a piece of fruit, Western influence has caused a few changes. This cake uses Chinese techniques to make a French inspired, and extremely moist, sponge 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.

- Almond Jelly. Almond jelly is one of the simplest and most popular Chinese desserts. Made with almond-flavored gelatin and fruit salad swimming in a sweet syrup, it’s a light treat to cleanse the palate.
- Egg Tarts. Smooth and creamy egg custard is nestled in a flaky and buttery puff pastry. These bite-sized treats are sinfully delightful. I remember visiting Macau a few years ago and snacking on egg tarts as I walked along its cobblestone streets.
- Soy Milk Pudding. Soy milk pudding is an incredibly soft and silky pudding made with soy milk and soy bean flour. Gelatin or agar is added to get that lovely velvety consistency.
- Pineapple Tarts. Sweet and tangy pineapple filling gets nestled in a soft and flaky puff pastry. These pineapple tarts are a tropical masterpiece! The combination of refreshing pineapple jam and melt-in-your-mouth crust is to die for!
- Red Bean Cakes. Red bean cakes are originally from Japan, but over the centuries, they haves made their way through Taiwan. Also called as car wheel cakes, they are round and stuffed with a sweet red bean paste filling.
- Chinese Fried Dough. Chinese fried dough, crullers, or youtiao, is not just a popular dessert, but a breakfast dish as well. This bread is soft, chewy, and downright delicious.
- Chinese Sweet Potato Ginger Dessert Soup. This sweet soup is the perfect way to warm you up on a cold day. Chinese dessert soup is a traditional dish loaded with sweet potatoes, dates, and flavored with sugar and ginger.
- Bubble Tea. More commonly known here in the States as boba, bubble tea or milk tea is a sweet refreshing beverage that originated from Taiwan back in the 80s.
- Fried Milk. Fried milk is a rich and creamy snack that I can eat all day. Sure, it’s fattening, but also, who cares? It’s so good, it’s worth the calories!
- Almond Cookies. Sure, chocolate chip cookies will always take the number one spot in the world’s best cookies, but it’s also nice to explore new flavors from time to time.
12 CHINESE DESSERT RECIPES - THE SPRUCE EATS
From thespruceeats.com
- Chinese Almond Cookies. A popular offering at bakeries, Chinese almond cookies are a confection that's surprisingly simple to make at home. The dough is rolled into a log, then sliced and topped with a single almond before baking.
- Nian Gao. One of the most popular Chinese desserts is sweet nian gao. It is usually made from a glutinous brown sugar cake that's wrapped in pastry and deep fried.
- Eight Treasures Rice Pudding. Named after the number of ingredients, eight treasures rice pudding is only served during special events or for Lunar New Year.
- Almond Float. To form this almond float dessert, gelatin is mixed with sugar, almond extract, and evaporated milk, then chilled inside a mold. It's sliced and served with a fruit cocktail and syrup mixture.
- Asian-Style Banana Fritters. Unlike American versions of banana fritters—where the fruit is mixed with the batter, then fried—these Asian-style banana bites keep the fruit intact, coating them in a thin layer of batter before frying.
- Bow Ties. Children will love these egg roll wrappers, which are twisted and deep-fried, dipped into a brown sugar syrup, and left to harden. Often served cold, the bow ties are a fun and festive treat that can also simply be dusted with powdered sugar, similar to the carnival confection of fried dough.
- Mango Ice Cream. Although not native to China, the mango has become very popular and one way to enjoy this tropical fruit is to turn it into cold and refreshing mango ice cream.
- Chinese Steamed Sponge Cake. What makes this Chinese steamed sponge cake different from a typical sponge cake is that it is steamed, making it extremely moist.
- Mango Pudding. Popular in Hong Kong, mango pudding is often served at dimsum. The texture is smooth and creamy and the flavor is sweet and refreshing. Instead of regular milk, coconut milk is added, which not only makes this dessert lactose-free, but also even more delicious as the coconut brings out the natural sweetness of the mango.
- Chinese Snowflake Cake. This Chinese snowflake cake recipe offers ingredients and directions for both a raspberry version and a coconut snowflake cake. Light, refreshing, and served cold, this molded mixture of either raspberries or coconut milk along with gelatin, potato starch, sugar, and cream is a lovely way to end the meal on a hot summer night.
