- After 1 hour divide the batter equally and add 2 drops of food coloring to each batter. The best color is pink, yellow and green.
- Using a large steamer boil the water and arrange 4 to 5 small bowls in the steamer (make sure you oil or spray the each small bowl so the batter won’t stick) Do not add the batter to the bowl yet let it boil for few minutes in the steamer so the cake rise better when the bowl is hot.
