Introduction

In this tutorial, we'll guide you through making delicious steamed brown sugar cake, known as Kue Kukus Gula Merah. This traditional Indonesian dessert is easy to prepare and perfect for family gatherings or as a treat for yourself. Follow these steps to create a moist, flavorful cake that is sure to impress.

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

Before you start baking, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients on hand. Here’s what you'll need:

• 200 grams of brown sugar
• 250 ml of water
• 200 grams of all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 2 eggs

Practical Tip

Ensure your brown sugar is fresh and moist for the best flavor. If it's hard, soften it by placing it in a sealed bag with a slice of bread for a few hours.

Step 2: Prepare the Brown Sugar Mixture

1. In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar and water.
2. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved.
3. Once dissolved, remove the pan from heat and let it cool slightly.

Common Pitfall

Don’t let the mixture boil too long; you just want the sugar to melt, not to caramelize.

Step 3: Mix the Dry Ingredients

1. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
2. Mix well to ensure the baking powder is evenly distributed in the flour.

Practical Tip

Sifting your flour helps to avoid clumps and ensures a lighter cake.

Step 4: Combine Wet Ingredients

1. In another bowl, beat the eggs and add the vanilla extract.
2. Gradually add the cooled brown sugar mixture to the egg mixture while whisking continuously.

Common Pitfall

Make sure the brown sugar mixture is not too hot when adding to the eggs to prevent scrambling.

Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

1. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients.
2. Stir gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the cake light and fluffy.

Step 6: Prepare the Steamer

1. Fill a steamer pot with water and bring it to a boil.
2. Line the steaming tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 7: Steam the Cake

1. Pour the batter into the prepared tray.
2. Carefully place the tray into the steamer.
3. Cover with a lid and steam for approximately 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Practical Tip

Check the water level in the steamer periodically to ensure it doesn’t run dry.

Conclusion

You’ve now completed your Kue Kukus Gula Merah! Allow the cake to cool before removing it from the tray. This dessert can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. Serve it for special occasions or as a delightful snack at home. Enjoy your delicious creation and consider experimenting with different flavors or toppings for future baking adventures!
