Paper wrapped cake (Zi baau daan gou)

(Paper wrapped cake, Cake wrapped in paper, 紙包蛋糕)

Paper wrapped cake is a Hong Kong specialty that can be found in most bakeries. These light and fluffy cakes are wrapped in paper before baking, hence the name. They are made with a combination of butter, eggs, milk, flour, sugar, and vanilla extract.


The batter is poured into cup cake molds lined with paper, then baked until done. If properly baked, they should have a fragrant aroma of fresh eggs. The cakes are usually served for breakfast or in the afternoon, and they're typically paired with tea.
