Pork Floss Cake

 

I believe you are familiar with the floss bun that breadtalk has bring it out. Instead of laying floss on a bread, should I try topped with cake (I thought to myself). So I went research for recipe and I really found one blogger doing that. Great, so I decided to give it a try using her recipe.

 

 

Initially I wanted to make 2 layer of pork floss and 3 layer of sponge cake but after I pouring the second batch of batter than I realise that batter is not enough. I'm quite disappointed with the final product look of the cake, because the first layer batter is too thin and second batter is too much. The proportion I did not measure well due to the greediness I wanted.

 

 

I make some adjustment on the method step and follow with my cook book. The texture of the sponge cake is soft and fluffy but lack of the eggy taste.
