- Let rest for 30 to 60 minutes in warm place.
- Add the baking powder just before cooking.
- Grease two cake pans [8 inchs].
- Divide dough between pans
- Sprinkle with seeds.
- You are going to steam the cakes. Use a two tiered steamer for both cakes. Single tier do only one cake at a time.
- Place pans inches Cover and steam over high heat for 10 minutes. A toothpick inserted should come out clean. You want a spongy texture. Remove from heat and remove pans using tongs. Be careful the pans are going to be very hot.

I WILL NOT say they are Vegetarian or Vegan any longer due to the database changes. I DO NOT WISH YOU TO RECOMMEND THEM. Consider them as faulty. It's your own fault if you trust them. Don't bother to review.
Don't ask me a question. I won't answer. I'm not here anymore.
I will NOT warrent any recipe on this site put up by me as correct due to Scripps problems. IF they claim to have fixed it, I still do not warrent any recipe as correct except the ones that I put up personally on the tripod site so use any recipe posted under my name at your own risk. Basic? Lots of luck.
Now the ones at chef.philocrates.tripod.com [see De Gustibus Veg*n in link on top], yeah, I will take responsiblity for all of them and the ingredients. I put them up and any errors are all mine.
No the door didn't hit me on the ### but the skid marks in the parking lot are mine.
