Steamed Savoury Pumpkin Cake (蒸南瓜糕）

I have a "Sweet" life nowadays. I eat cake, cookies, dessert, chocolate & candy almost everyday. I have a sweet tooth, what to do?! However, I do miss the savoury cake too. Since my fridge still have some pumpkin from Cameron, so I decided to make this steamed savoury pumpkin cake.

 I used this 7-inch baking tin for my mini pumpkin cake. A great size for small family.

Enjoy your food !!!

Again, this recipe adapted from Sonia but I reduced all the ingredients by half.

Thank you very much for Sonia good sharing.
