- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Steamer
Fill a large pot or steamer with water and bring it to a gentle simmer.
Step 2: Prepare the Pan
Grease a heatproof cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 3: Mix Eggs and Sugar
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until pale and slightly fluffy.

Step 5: Add Dry Ingredients
Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold gently into the wet mixture until fully combined.
Step 6: Pour the Batter
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and tap lightly to remove air bubbles.
Step 7: Steam the Cake

Step 8: Cool and Serve
Allow the cake to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or chilled.
Tips for Success
