Hong Kong Style Paper Wrapped Cake, also known as “ma lai go” or “malay cake,” is a popular traditional Chinese steamed sponge cake. It is typically made with ingredients like flour, sugar, eggs, and baking powder, resulting in a soft, moist, and slightly sweet cake. The cake is often steamed in small paper cups, giving it a unique shape and texture.
