Bolu kukus (lit. steamed tart) is an Indonesian traditional snack of steamed sponge cupcake.[1][2] The term "bolu kukus" however, usually refer to a type of kue mangkuk that mainly only uses wheat flour (without any rice flour and tapioca) with sugar, eggs, milk, soda, and also using common vanilla, chocolate, pandan or strawberry flavouring, acquired from food flavouring essence.[2] The cake uses beaten eggs and soda as emulsifier, the type of soda being lemon sparkling water,[1] usually Sprite.[2]
The term bolu is derived from Dutch to describe Dutch sponge cake. Thus the texture is soft and fluffy just like tart or chiffon cake. As the name imply, bolu kukus is a steamed tart instead of commonly baked cupcakes, and usually the bolu kukus base is covered with corrugated paper container, just like common cupcakes.
