Putu Ayu Indonesian Steamed Coconut Cupcakes

This recipe is taken from a food magazine in indonesia. Very easy yet tasty.. I used to make these cakes at home, and now, every time i make it, they remind me of my home. :)

Steps

Grease 15 cupcake moulds.

Using an electric mixer , beat sugar and eggs on high speed until pale and creamy.

Fold in quarter of the coconut milk , quarter of the flour , then stir gently to combine.

Repeat this step until all milk and flour are folded inches.

Fold in the food coloring and stir to combine.

Put 2-3 tbs of dessicated coconut into each mould , press firmly into base.

Fill the moulds with batter until full.

Place in a saucepan half-filled with hot water , cover and bring to the boil.

Reduce heat to a gentle simmer , then steam for 35-50 minutes until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.

When the cakes are cooked , leave to stand for 5 minutes.

Run a knife around the edge of each mould , then ease the pudding out onto a serving plate.
