Ma Lai Gao (马拉糕)

Tasty & Fluffy Steamed Cake

Ma Lai Gao is a steamed sponge cake, normally found in Dim Sum restaurants.

Soft & Spongy

Good Ma Lai Gao should be light, airy and fluffy. It should be bouncy to the touch with no fancy additions of embellishments or toppings.

This Ma Lai Gao is pillowy soft, fluffy and has a springy texture. It is light and spongy and lightly sweetened.

Ma Lai Gao can be served hot, warm or at room temperature. Unfinished cake can be kept in the fridge, simply refresh it by steaming it for a few minutes.
