Chinese Turnip Cakes are traditionally made in loaf tins, but I find it easier to make them in round cake tins, mostly because I don't have a Chinese-style steamer but use a Moroccan-inspired couscousier for steaming; it's a bit smaller than most Chinese-style steamers and fits a round cake tin comfortably.
