Lusog Notes

This Steamed Fruit Cake recipe is a source of iron, which is needed in the formation of red blood cells that carry oxygen in the body. Iron also plays a role in the proper functioning of the immune system.

Do not overmix the batter. Mix only until the dry ingredients are moistened. Overmixing causes the cake to become tough.
