Good morning friends..
I have been saving this recipe for a long time so I can share with you my experience in making this traditional Malay cake. Some time ago I made a sago bangkit cake.
This cake uses sago flour as the main ingredient in making it.
Bangkit cake has a symbol or meaning of spirit, togetherness and as a cultural heritage for the Malay community.
My first experience making this cake was very exciting but also quite challenging, because this cake has a fragile texture, a little sandy in molding it must be very careful. Actually there is a special mold for bangkit cake but I don't have a cake mold, I used various types of molds that I had, it turned out not to be that easy, failed many times, finally I was able to find a mold that fit and was easy to use to make this cake.
I will immediately show you how to make it and the ingredients used.
Ingredients used
✓ 75 grams of powdered sugar
✓ 50 grams of butter
✓ ¼ tsp salt
✓ 65 ml of instant coconut milk
✓ 15 grams of powdered milk
✓ 375 grams of sago flour
✓ enough rose food coloring
How to Make
• Prepare all the necessary ingredients
• in a container, add butter and powdered sugar then stir until smooth, stir using a spatula only. After the dough is soft, add instant coconut milk and salt. Stir again until mixed.
• add powdered milk and sago flour, stir until the texture of the dough changes to sandy but can still be clenched with your hands.
• divide the dough into 2 parts. Add food coloring to one. (Initially, I wanted to make 2 colors for this dough division, but because it was difficult to print, I finally combined it into one pink dough)
• prepare the mold. I tried using all these molds but the results failed and were difficult to print
• finally I was able to print using this twister mold. Press the dough gently
• Arrange in a baking pan that has been lined with paper. Oven with temp 150°c or 302°F for 20 minutes
• the sago bangkit cake is ready to be served.
This is my experience making a sago bangkit cake..although it was a bit difficult at first but finally I was able to finish this cake well.
The taste of this cake is very uniquely savory, when we eat it there is a special sensation in our mouths because it uses sago flour. Thank you for reading my blog and enjoying my cooking experience. May you always be happy.
