About Kuih bahulu

Kuih Bahulu is a traditional Malay sponge cake enjoyed across Southeast Asia, particularly in Malaysia and Indonesia. Often served during festive occasions like Hari Raya or Chinese New Year, it boasts a light, airy texture with a golden-brown exterior. Made from simple ingredients—flour, eggs, sugar, and occasionally vanilla or pandan essence—Kuih Bahulu is baked in distinctive molds, forming bite-sized pieces commonly shaped like flowers or seashells. While its high egg content provides some protein, the dessert is sugar-heavy, which contributes to its sweet flavor but makes it a less healthy option if consumed in excess. Its lack of additives or preservatives makes it a relatively clean treat, but it is best enjoyed as an occasional indulgence rather than a daily staple. To improve its nutritional profile, consider pairing it with fresh fruits or opting for recipes with reduced sugar content.
