Sanwin Makin – Burmese Cake
Description
Sanwin Makin is a traditional Burmese cake which contains semolina, coconut milk, coconut flakes and cashews. Everything is spiced up with a little bit of cardamom. I simply love the combination between these flavors!
This cake is a famous street snack in Myanmar and it is served during feasts as well. It can vary a little in texture and taste, since some recipes call for sesame seeds instead of cashew nuts or condensed milk instead of coconut milk.
What I love about this cake is the moist texture and the incredible flavors. You really need to try it.
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Start by adding the dry ingredients to a bowl. Mix the semolina together with the desiccated coconut, the baking powder and cardamom powder.
-
Add the coconut milk to the dry ingredients and mix well. Add the egg, mix everything well, then add the sugar/jaggery and the melted butter. Stir everything.
-
Transfer the batter to a baking tray (use a small baking tray, not bigger than 20x20 cm; if your tray is bigger than 20 cm, you have to double the quantities and make a bigger cake so that it will not be too flat).
-
Add the coconut chips and cashews on top and bake in the preheated oven.
