椰糖阿邦糕 Gula Melaka Apom

It's been a while I've prepared little steamed cakes for my gluten monsters ^0^ I want something quick and simple to prepare, so this stir, mix and steam recipe is a good choice! Palm sugar with coconut milk won't go wrong hahaha....this little Apom tasted so soft and moist with very rich coconut taste.

This steamed cake should look rounded after steaming, but one of it split open like a 'Huat Kueh'! hahaha luckily only one split.

I like these cute silicon moulds which unmould the cakes easily without the need of greasing :D
