Kuih Bahulu is a traditional local sponge cake loved by Malaysians of all races and ages. Traditionally, it is baked during festive seasons such as Hari Raya and Chinese New Year. Nowadays, many people know how to make it, and it is enjoyed even on regular days.

Shaped like little flowers, Kuih Bahulu is soft, fluffy, and irresistibly delicious. It’s made from just eggs, sugar, and flour—unlike many other cakes, it doesn’t require butter. For an extra layer of flavor, it’s often enjoyed with a bit of kaya (coconut egg jam).
