Chinese bakery cream cake

Mango, kiwi and strawberry cream cake

My strawberry cream birthday cake

We had a lovely surprise visit this afternoon from Mum & Dad AND they brought goodies. Mum had called in at my favourite Chinese bakery in Manchester's Chinatown, Wong Wong's.

Wong Wong Bakery, Manchester.

If you have never tried a Chinese style cream cake you are missing out. The sponge is so unbelievably light and airy and there is always delicious fresh fruit accented with cream. When you close your eyes you feel as if you could be eating angel food :) These cakes are totally different to European/American style cakes in texture and sweetness. But finding a recipe online has been proven to be difficult.  However, I did manage to find this 2006 post from Chowtimes.com which looks quite authentic. Maybe I will try it one afternoon this week.
