Red sugar steamed cake steps
Step 1First, heat the pot with water, after the water boils, pour in the red dates and cook for 10 minutes (at this time the red dates will become very plump), then separate the egg yolks and egg whites
Step 2Then add milk, low-gluten flour, and red sugar to the egg yolks and stir into a viscous paste (you can adjust the amount of flour and milk appropriately, as long as it's made into a batter), and fully stir until it's well mixed. Add fermentation powder and stir a few times, then place it in a warm place for about 15 minutes
Step 3Add a spoonful of white sugar to the egg whites and whisk until the chopsticks can't be pulled out vertically, then after the red dates are cooked, remove the red date peel and core and mash them into a red date puree
Step 4Pour the mashed red date puree into the prepared batter, then pour the whipped egg whites into the batter twice (fully stir evenly each time, don't stir clockwise), and prepare a mold with the bottom oiled (the purpose of oiling the bottom is to make it easier to demold later),
Step 5Pour the red date paste and egg mixture into the mold, then gently shake it on the table a few times (this can eliminate the excess gas), cover it with plastic wrap, and poke a few small holes on the surface with a toothpick (this will make it smoother after steaming), put it in a pot to steam for 15 minutes, then steam for 5 minutes, and you can take it out and demold to eat, it's very delicious and tasty.
