Steamed Egg White Rainbow Cake

baked this for my mom and sis Hong.. will be going to JB tmr..

got this from Quick 'n' Easy Treats from Zu's Kitchen.. sorrie, i forgot to link to her site earlier.. pea brain these days.. thanks, Zuraini

p/s1: very nice hor the effect.. someone in the forum told me from start to end took her 1hr.. well, i took 3hrs!! mabbe my "kah chiu" (legs and hands) really slow.. but this cake is made from almost 16 egg whites!! heh.. mabbe i will try the effect using a different cake recipe.. no way, will i use 16 egg whites again!! what to do w the yolk? kuih lapis? but i dunno how to bake kuih lapis..

p/s2:to produce the effect.. simply divide ur batter to 3 (or 4) different colors.. i used red and chocolate and original batter.. then scoop a tablespoonful of batter color#1 onto the baking pan.. then scoop a tablespoon of batter color#2 onto the batter#1.. then batter #3 onto the batter in the pan.. keep on adding to the top.. u will slowly see what i mean.. heh.. have fun!

The colours look... exotic. Let me guess, strawberry, chocolate and vanilla flavoured? Heh.

*speechless!!*

how da heck did you do that? steam layer per layer? reminds me of a tiger. you can make tiger cake for your birthday! just leave out the pink.

or can make zebra.

it's too late at night. bye.

all the layers at the same time? won't they "bleed" into each other?

i'll bet snowdrop will have lots of ideas about what to use those egg yolks for!

spot.. no they wun bleed!! when i read the recipe, i oso tak caya! but no leh.. the end result as u "pile" each batter will be something like bullseye with circles of color#1, color#2, color#3, color#1, color#2, color#3, ...

oo, what a challenge! 16 yolks huh...

lemme see, off the top of my head, creme brulee (lots of yolks for that), cheesecake, custard. also, can use 1-2 for carbonara, pastry.

from my "research" at nigella.com: ice-cream! nigella's recipes are good cos the yolks are cooked first, like a custard. must avoid uncooked eggs in your delicate condition mah!

apparently, you can also freeze the yolks. they just need to be covered with a little water. then defrost, drain off water and use as per recipe. would be good to freeze in smaller batches, i guess, then defrost as required.

have fun!

(sorry-ah, so long my comment)

thanks, snopdrop.. but no more baking for me.. yup, i froze the yolks in 2's.. will just add to my maggi mee.. or do some scramble eggs.. i'm so worried that when i use yolk, i will end up with more whites.. and then it becomes a vicious cycle.. from now on, only bake recipe calling for whole eggs.. heh.. but, when i see the recipe, the picture of the cake is too pretty to give it a miss.. :D
