Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 325 g all-purpose flour
  • 300 –325 g sugar
  • 200 ml almond milk or any milk or coconut milk, mixed with 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 –3 food colorings of your choice

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, egg yolks, and sugar. Using a mixer on high speed, beat the mixture for about 20 minutes until it becomes thick, pale, and airy.
  • Reduce the mixer to low speed and gradually add the sifted flour, alternating with the vanilla-infused milk. Continue mixing just until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the batter is smooth.
  • Divide the batter evenly into three separate bowls. Add a few drops of different food colorings into each bowl, stirring gently until the colors are vibrant and evenly distributed.
  • Prepare a steamer by bringing water to a boil over high heat. Wrap the underside of the steamer lid with a clean kitchen cloth to prevent condensation from dripping onto the cakes.
  • While waiting for the water to reach a rolling boil, line the steaming molds with cupcake liners. Fill each liner completely with layers of the colored batters, creating a multicolored effect in each cup.
  • Once the water is boiling, carefully place the filled molds into the steamer. Cover with the cloth-wrapped lid and steam over high heat for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cakes are fully set and puffed up.
  • Remove the molds from the steamer and immediately transfer the colorful steam sponge cakes to a serving plate. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy their soft, fluffy texture and cheerful colors.
