Hong Kong-Style Sponge Cake 港式傳統雞蛋糕

This is definitely my favourite Hong Kong-style cake since when I was kid. I still love it and must buy it every time when I back to Hong Kong. These are very traditional old-fashioned bakery style cakes, very rich and eggy flavour, sometimes if you are lucky, you can find the lotus or red bean fillings inside. They are just sooooo delicious! 

You cannot always find it in bakery shops these days, people like those fancy western bread and cakes.  But for me, some traditional food must  continue being appreciated. This is my easy but yummy recipe, hope you love it too!
