Piggy Steam Cake

It's Friday again, we still cannot relax much this weekend, IT still has one last exam paper next Monday. LT has exams next week but his are minor tests, which won't take up much revision time.


It's been a long time since my last attempt at steam cakes. This time, I made piggy steam cakes.


I used Morinaga pancake mix for this recipe. If you can't get hold of the pancake mix, you can click HERE for my other steam cake recipe instead.


I'm sharing the recipe for these piggy steam cakes below.

1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tbsp plain flour
1/2 tbsp cocoa powder
a little Wilton pink icing paste

1. Whisk egg and sugar in mixing bowl.

2. Add in yoghurt and milk till well blended.

3. Stir in melted butter.

4. Sift in pancake mix and baking powder and fold till well blended.

7. Spoon mixture in step 5 and 6 in pipping bags.

8. Fill cupcake cups with remaining mixture, fill till around 70% full. Tap cups lightly to remove air bubbles.

9. Pipe on piggy details, start with the pink batter, followed by brown batter.
