About this dish
Malay sponge cake is a dessert cake popular in Guangdong and Hong Kong, where it is usually served at traditional teahouses. The cake is made of lard or butter, flour, and eggs, and prepared using a bamboo steamer to develop puffiness. An entire Malay sponge cake is a huge round yellow cake, but is generally sold as slices in teahouses. In Hong Kong, the cake was described as the "national cake" by American news channel CNN.
