Earl Grey Milk Tea Steamed Cake in Cups

How about a cuppa of Earl Grey Milk Tea Steamed Cake???

These milk tea cakes goes with with chocolates though...hehehehe...

Unfortunately, those chocolate chips were excellent for baking in the oven but not for steaming as they totally melt as the heat rises...:-p Nevertheless, these cakes tasted excellent.

Do not have too much expectations of these cakes though. These steamed cakes are very simple, plain ones. It is excellent for people who prefer a slightly bland taste, not so sweet steamed cake.

As most of you would have realised, most of the steamed cakes that I had attempted are rather healthy I would say:-D

For me, I do enjoyed these steamed cakes very well. What about you?
