Description
Discover the ultimate Malaysian Honeycomb Cake (Kek Gula Hangus) – a delightful, melt-in-your-mouth dessert with a unique, caramelized honeycomb-like texture.
Ingredients
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 3 large eggs
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round baking pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
4. Slowly pour in the melted butter while continuously mixing to incorporate.
5. Gently fold in the dry ingredients from step 2 until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan, then invert it onto a serving plate.
8. Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
For best results, use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The unique honeycomb-like texture comes from the caramelization of the sugar during baking. Serve this cake with a hot cup of tea or coffee for a perfect pairing.
