Turning your wok into a oven - but this way you will have to sacrifice a wok. Turn the gas on and make sure your lid are close tightly so that the heat would not escape. Practise make perfect as you will soon able to adjust the temperature by lowering or increased the fire.

Another recipie for steam cake -

5 eggs
a bowl of sugar
a bowl of flour
a packet of eno

mixed them and place them on a baking tray. Steam them and you have a sponge cake liao.

Happy baking.

Hai Shiva !

I know thare is a pan called "baking pan". Its a round pan, stainless steel, with a hole in the middle (so the cake will look like a sponge cake that u usually see in the hypermarket...having hole in the middle..u know..pandan sponge cake,etc). It has a tight cover with a litle round "window" on it, so we can see the cake inside while we bake it. With 2 handle at both side, both on the pan and the cover.

The diameter of the pan is usually 22 cm or 24 cm.

As I know it's an old fashion way to bake a cake without oven. It is underlined by a thick metal (also round but flat metal) before you put the pan on ur regular stove, to spread the heat evenly and giving indirect heat (like the oven).

I live in Jakarta before, it's still can be found in several department store there.
But..I hardly found it in the department store here. Maybe u can check and ask ur old folks about it.

Hope this info will b useful 4 u..

My way is the quick and lazy way of doing

Get a chinese rice bowl for measurement. Step by step:

Use a electric beater to quicker job. Beat egg and sugar till it is fluffy or until the sugar all dissolved. Switch off the electric beater using a spatula or bigger spoon to fold in the flour in infinity movement. We use infinity movement cos if you stir them, all the air in it will escape. We need lots of air so that the cake will turn out fluffy. Fold in a packet of eno. Eno is equivalent to raising flour but raising flour is more suitable for oven bake. Pour them out in a tray if you are making a big cake. If you like, you may use cup cake tray. Make sure your water is boiling hot before putting in the mixture. Steam them for about 30mins. Use a skew to poke in the centre of the cake. If skew comes out clean means it is cook.

The diameter of the pan is usually 22 cm or 24 cm.

The round baking pan with a hole in the middle is called a ring pan or bundt pan. The ones used for chiffon cake or angelfood cake is usually higher than a regular ring pan. The ones for chiffon cake usually has a removable base whereas a ring pan or bundt pan doesnt usually have that.

It is usually recommended that you use a ring pan for cakes that a bigger if you are 'baking' in a wok, vs a regular oven so that you will be ensured a well baked cake. With steaming cakes, it is not such a problem ensuring the cake is properly cooked inside.
