This Cake Went Viral: No Oven, No Whipping, Just Mix and Enjoy in 30 Minutes, Kids Love It
Hello everyone, I'm Xin Yufemi from Beijing, everyone calls me Fei Fei Sister, I love food and sharing, please follow me!
Since the Spring Festival, I haven't been to the vegetable market. The ingredients at home are getting less and less. Although it hasn't reached the point of running out of food, we still need to make some adjustments and make some distinctive dishes. My family is getting tired of eating the same dishes every day. We also need to adjust the main course, so we can't eat rice every day, so I'm trying to make some noodles.
Luckily, I bought some pumpkins. Pumpkins are suitable for storage and have high nutritional value. However, many people may not be interested in cooking pumpkins directly because of the taste. Today, I'm going to make a cake with it, without an oven and without beating, just using a steamer, and it's easy to make. This cake is not only nutritious, but also has a delicious red date flavor. If you have children at home, you can make this cake for them, even if they don't like eating pumpkins, they'll love the taste of this steamed cake. Here, I'm going to share the method with you.
Pumpkin Steamed Cake Flour 300g, Dates 3, Pumpkin 300g, Yeast 3g, Sugar 20g, Water as needed
Instructions
1 Peel and cut the pumpkin, then put it in a steamer and steam until cooked. When the skin drops easily with a light touch, you don't need to peel it beforehand.
2 I think the pumpkin is already sweet, so I didn't add sugar. If you like sweet things, you can add some sugar. Mash the pumpkin into a puree and let it cool before using. You can use a fork, spoon, or food processor to make the puree. Make it as smooth as possible.
3 Wash the dates, cut the date pits into thin strips, and cut the date flesh into pieces. I bought dates that are the same size as eggs, so I cut them open.
5 Add the pumpkin puree to the flour and yeast and mix into a dough. As the pumpkin has a high water content, add a little water to the dough, and it will be sticky. Don't worry, steamed cakes need a high water content to be delicious. Then add the red date pieces and mix evenly.
6 Take a 6-inch non-stick mold (if you don't have one, you can use a pot, a large bowl, or a glass food container, but grease the surface with a little oil to prevent sticking). Put the dough into the mold, cover it with a plastic wrap, and let it proof until it doubles in size.
7 Once the dough has proofed, evenly distribute the cut red dates on top. Let your imagination run wild with the shape.
8 Put it in a steamer, after the steam comes up, steam for 25 minutes, take it out and invert it to cut into pieces for eating.
Fei Fei's Reminders
1 Dates have sweetness, if you don't like sweet things, you can reduce the sugar.
2 Adjust the amount of water according to the water content of the pumpkin, if the dough is too small, add less water, if it's too big, add more water.
3 Don't over-proof the steamed cake, or it will collapse. Don't make the batter too thin.
