  5. Veronica, love your cake! I love yam and I know that I will love this cake. Can I ask, is gelatine powder same as agar-agar powder? I can't seem to find gelatine powder.

  6. Phong Hong, Agar agar is a traditional substitute for gelatin in many recipes and basically it substitutes at a ratio of an equal amount of agar agar for gelatin when substituting like for like (that is powdered for powdered, etc).One tablespoon of powdered agar agar can be used in place of one tablespoon of powdered gelatin.

  7. Wah.... beautiful!!! You remind me when I were still a little girl playing with Sze Chien in my my house. You plan to make yam cake for us, but at last you went home without making because Min Khai hurt his head. Remember?

    1. Hi Hew Jt, Softasilk flour is a brand of fine flour. You can replace with Hong Kong flour or Super fine flour.

    1. Hi Farsha Alyana, thank you for dropping by my blog. You cannot do mousse without jelatine. If you are not putting the egg yolk, please reduce the amount of jelatine. The texture and taste will be different without egg yolk. Hope to hear from you soon.
