Sponge Cakes

This method of making sponge cake is fantastic. I must share with everyone, who like me, is never confident with sponge cakes. With just one recipe, i made several shapes and they are the best.

This is sort of yin and yang, not by choice, but i am glad it turned out this way. If you like the kuih bahulu to be soft crumb, do not heat the mould for too long before filling with batter and bake until just right. If you like hard crumb, heat the mould until very very hot, then pour in batter

The pattern side is light cos of the silicone madeliene mould.

Ingredients:

100 gram vegetable oil

30 ml milk
