Creating a delicious seaweed and pork floss cake is simple and rewarding. This fluffy, savory treat combines the umami of seaweed, the richness of pork floss, and the softness of a light sponge cake. Here’s a step-by-step guide.

Ingredients:

- 150g all-purpose flour

- 100g sugar

- 50ml milk

- 45ml vegetable oil

- 1 tsp baking powder

- 20g dried seaweed (finely chopped)

- 50g pork floss

Steps:

1. Prepare the Batter: Separate egg whites and yolks. Whisk yolks with sugar, milk, and oil until smooth. In a separate bowl, sift flour, baking powder, and salt, then fold into the yolk mixture.

2. Whip Egg Whites: Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into the batter in three batches, maintaining airiness.

3. Add Flavors: Fold in chopped seaweed and 30g pork floss, distributing evenly.

4. Bake: Pour batter into a greased 20cm round cake pan. Bake at 170°C for 25–30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.

5. Finish: Let the cake cool, then top with the remaining pork floss. Press lightly to adhere.

Serving Tip: Enjoy this cake as a snack or light meal—its savory flavor pairs perfectly with a hot cup of tea!
