brown sugar steamed cake 红糖发糕

This is my very first success steamed cake that I ever make for years. 


I had been try many attempts on making this steam cake, but always fail. Sometimes the cake doesn't open "flower" like this and sometimes also have "white" in the middle of the cake. Don't know why but I keep on trying out for days and finally found my own recipe of this fluffy, chewy cake. Just like the same brown sugar steamed cake that I tasted when I was young at hometown.
