Hello everybody, here I am back to the action. I am terribly sorry for keeping very quiet for nearly 3 months. The reason was that I was not feeling very well. Thank you very much to all of you out there throughout the world that showed their concern to me. I appreciate all your comments and e-mails. Tremendously sorry that I could not reply them.
Now, back to present. As a comeback gift, I would like to share a very simple, aromatic and ever smiling goodie with all.
Steamed Rose Sponge Cupcake
What do we need:
1 cup plain flour
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup fizzy or soda water
1 egg
2 tbsp rose syrup
1 tsp sponge cake stabilizer (optional)
How do we do it:
Mix all the ingredients together. Beat until it becomes a frothy mixture and doubles in volume. Spoon the batter into paper cups until 2/3 full. Steam on high for 10 minutes.
Cool completely before serving.

Saya orang singapura lah pus..Yr rose cake can eat with kelapa n orange sugar? so sedap lah..tq.
siti.
Hi Siti, saya orang Kuala Lumpur. Memang betul pun. Lebih sedap if eaten with kelapa & gula merah.
Hi Pushpa,
Very easy recipe, want to try it for daughter. couple of questions, Can i use ginger ale or coke for soda water, what is fizzy where can i find it and can i steam it in pressure cooker. Please help me. This will be my first attempt in baking dishes. Wanted to try with a simple one.
Hi whoever u r,
Fizzy water is another name for carbonated water. U can use whatever flavoured drink tat u want to. For me, Sprite would be the best. Or if u live in Malaysia or Singapore, u can use Ice-Cream Soda. I know don't know wat other countries have this drink. I have ever used a pressure cooker to steam cakes but I feel tat a normal steamer wuld do the job better. Let me know of the outcome. Thank u.
hi pushpa...
pink is my favourite colour... oh no i'm not singing here... i'm droooooooling:) it looks soooooooo delicious... wish i were there to take a bite, a big one;)
cheers
supriya
Thank u, Supriya. Y don't u give a try as it is so easy & delicious.
hi pushpa,
ur recipe looks very inviting. I would like to try it. I have some questions: is it ok to steam the paper cups? I have never tried it. Sorry if i'm naive. Do we get the rose syrup in american stores or else in indian stores?
Thanks
Hi whoever u r, thank u. U can steam them in paper cups. Tatz how I did it. I wuldn't b able to answer ur 2nd question as I do not live in the US. Anyway, u can always substitute the rose syrup with other flavours like orange, lemon etc.
welcome back pusiva, i'm happy to hear dat you're fine
Thanx babe. U'll have to say another "welcome" as I'm coming back home to KL in Feb.
Hello,
I am new here, so not sure, anyways wish u good health...
BTW what is "sponge cake stabilizer" can u post a picture of it or the box or package ? Can they be found in the baking aisle ?
Did u use them in ur recipe, bcoz If not, I want to try it right away they look soooo delicious.
Thanks.
Thanx a lot & welcome to the blog, Aruna.
Well, I'm not very sure if this ingredient is available in the US as I do not live there. U culd probably check out at baking supplies shops. Actually, the stabilizer is optional. It is used to hold the eggs when beaten. If u beat properly, u don't really need it.
Pushpa,
I wish u good health.
I have a question as well, How did u steam them ? did u use a pressure cooker ? please tell me know I just want to try them, they r soooo appealing..
Ana
Thank u very much, Ana. I just used a normal steamer.
Hi, your sponge cupcake looks real good. Love to give it a try but can i omit the rose syrup or can i replace the syrup with any other things i.e. do i need to add more liquid cos i don't have any syrup at home. TIA!
How unique and pretty!
Pushpa, hope you feeling well now. I missed a lot of blog-action, so, couldnt wish you well earlier.
Happy new year to you and your family! :)
Is that cake? It looks like strawberry ice cream?? Wow!
Hi Pushpa,
I'm really glad to come across this blog and recipe! This reminds me of the chinese steamed cups which they sell in pasa malam in Singapore. Is it similar? Do you know what's the name of that?
Also, for the rose syrup, can we use those rose syrup for making drinks sold in supermarkets? Would they taste the same as the one you use in your recipe?
The cupcakes look worth a dip into them Pushpa. Gorgeous
