directions

  • Combine (A) together and sieve mixture into a large bowl.
  • Combine (B) into a pot and bring to a boil. Slowly add to sieved (A) mixture and stir well.
  • Divide into 12 equal portions and colour each portion to your liking.
  • Get ready a steamer and fill it to the maximum with water. Bring to a rapid boil over high heat.
  • Line a 9inch square tin with cling film.
  • Pour 1 portion of batter into the tin. Cover and steam over high heat for 5-6 minutes or till no longer sticky. Repeat the method, layering it layer by layer as you go on.
  • After the last layer is steamed, steam the entire thing for 20 minutes Remove, let cool and pop out of the tin.
  • Cut with a knife wrapped in clingfilm.
  • PS: always check there is water in the steamer, especially when you are going to let it steam for the 20 minutes.
  • This should be consumed the day it is made as refrigeration ruins its texture.

  1. Looked really good once made (although some of my colours sort of became one; that was my error!) but quite a lot of effort to make! Would be an amazing centre piece at a party though!

my flickr page: http://flickr.com/photos/tunasushi Hey there! Thanks for stopping by to look @ my profile :) I'll be 15 on the 11th of September 2006....Ive been using Zaar for quite a while now and I've made tons of friends so far...... I started cooking when I was umm....12 and a half and Ive been in love with it ever since...My first project was the classic batch of brownies. I used a pan that was too big and I got really really flat brownies.....For the frosting I used granulated sugar and had crunchy frosting haha..... Ive gotten much better since then! I tend to get discouraged very easily if something I make does not come out like it was expected to....I can even get depressed over it..... I have plans on going to Le Courdon Bleu Sydney in mid 2008 and completing the Grand Diploma there...... This is my cat Kiara. I found her in the backyard when I was 10, and I started feeding her toast and grape jelly. She's on a normal cat's diet now haha. <img src="http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c76/tunasushi/kiaraaaa.jpg" alt="Image hosting by Photobucket"> This is Pluto, and sadly he went missing just before Christmas.... <img src="http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c76/tunasushi/PlutO.jpg" alt="Image hosting by Photobucket"> The small pic is when I was 4, and the other is a recent pic :) <img src="http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c76/tunasushi/ff.jpg" alt="Image hosting by Photobucket"> <img src="http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c76/tunasushi/meme.jpg" alt="Image hosting by Photobucket"> Lookin a bit mad...hehe
