Actually, you can you use either sprite or sparkling water. But when you use sparkling water, make sure you add a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Because sprite has already taste in it. and we need the taste of vanilla or the sprite to get rid the taste of the eggs. In Indonesia they have special moulds for Bolu Kukus. The moulds for Bolu Kukus have holes in the bottom. So the Bolu Kukus will rise perfectly. But, here in Germany I can only find muffins/cupcakes moulds. I tried using the cupcakes moulds, and it's actually works. But, the cake won't rise to maximum and the cake is little bit wet when you take it out from the steamer. But still, it tastes like the one in Indonesia!
