Steamed Sweet Potato Cake

This cake tasted like "ma lai koh", the sweet potato taste has somehow been overpowered. It's very soft, moist and fluffy. Not sure if I have got the right texture. But I think I'll make it again with the normal cane sugar that is slightly yellowish in colour. The molasses sugar used here dominated the colour of the sweet potato.
