Prosperity Cake

Chinese New Year is coming up this weekend. My mom is already preparing for the holiday. Got a bunch of new year goodies and also started to make prosperity cakes, also known as "fa gao" in Chinese.  It's basically steamed sponge cake and it's sweet. Like the name suggested, the prosperity cake is a good luck symbol.  The muffin like prosperity cake has an open top similar to a flower, the more open the top is means more luck and good fortune.
