About Ma lai go
Ma Lai Go, also known as Malay Sponge Cake, is a traditional Cantonese steamed dessert often served at dim sum. This light and fluffy cake is made with simple ingredients like flour, eggs, sugar, and evaporated milk, along with leavening agents such as baking powder or yeast to achieve its signature airy texture. Brown sugar is typically used, giving the cake its caramelized sweetness and golden hue. While Ma Lai Go is relatively low in fat compared to fried desserts, it is high in sugar and refined carbohydrates, making it a treat best enjoyed in moderation. Its gentle steaming process means the cake doesn’t require oil for cooking, making it a lighter dessert option. Ma Lai Go embodies the delicate balance of flavors and textures central to Cantonese cuisine, offering a sweet ending to a meal or a snack with tea.
