SWEET YAM STEAMED CAKE / KUIH TALAM KELADI MINI

This is the normal "kuih talam" recipe but a mini version. The original recipe was Steamed Pumpkin Cake that I stumbled into CookingTackle blog. It looks so cute and I am intrigued to try it. One thing different that I saw in this recipe was the used of eggs. In the normal Malaysia talam we seldom use eggs. Anyway its delicious and one thing good this mini version is easy to handle...you don't need the cooling period to cut the cake and its  presentable. You can opt for pumpkin or even sweet potato. The recipe fits all.

Resipi kuih talam keladi yang dibuat dalam acuan lompang. Saya kira cara begini lebih mudah dan ringkas. Biasanya kalau kita membuat kuih talam selalu yang kita kuatiri ialah apabila hendak memotongnya..kerana untuk mendapatkan kuih talam yang cantik dipotong..kita memerlukan sekurang-kuranya 6 jam untuk menyejukkan...dan kebanyakan kita kalau membuat kuih talam biasa buat waktu petang dan tunggu semalaman untuk potong. Tetapi cara ini ringkas malah tidak memerlukan banyak masa dan boleh dihidangkan dengan segera. Resipi ini saya adaptasikan dari cooking takle..dan menarik juga dengan resipi ini ia menggunakan telur yang jarang kita menggunakan telur untuk kuih talam. Secara keseluruhanya memang sedap dan sesuai buat sajian petang atau majlis.
