Caramel Cake (Ma Lai Ko) Premix

Caramel cake or “Ma Lai Ko” (马来糕) is a fluffy, steamed sponge cake. The word “ma lai” refers to “Malay,” and the word “Ko” means cake. As the story goes, Ma Lai Ko originated in Malaysia via British influence, before making its way to East Asia where it has become a popular dim sum dish.
