Yesterday I went to the supermarket to buy two boxes of horseshoe powder. Originally, 250 grams of horseshoe powder cost 15 yuan a box, and 500 grams cost 25 yuan a box, which is still a good deal for a large box. In the evening, I was engaged in production with my mother-in-law at home, making biscuits, making horseshoe cakes, red bean cakes, so positive! It has been working for almost 3 hours, and it took me half an hour to clean the kitchen. There are so many things to clean. This morning, I brought the results back to the unit and asked my colleagues to eat. The colleagues praised me. I am so grateful. It is really comforting!
PS: Red bean cakes and horseshoe cakes are Guangdong specialty cakes.

Ingredients

Acacia Red Bean Cake

1. Soak the red beans one morning in advance.

2. Boil the red beans first, about 30 minutes, and add 350ml of water.

3. Pick up the red beans and set aside.

4. Add 300 grams of brown sugar to the red bean water and boil it into sugar water.

5. In addition, use 300ml of water to boil the horseshoe syrup, and the raw syrup will come out.

6. Then pour the sugar water into the raw pulp and stir while pouring.

7. Then add the red beans and mix well.

8. Add water to the steamer and bring it to a boil.

9. After the water is boiled, put in a plate, add two spoons of red soy milk, and then cover the pot and steam for about 5 minutes.

10. Seeing the red bean cake becomes transparent and ready to cook.

11. Add two spoons of red soybean milk and steam the second layer of cake.

12. Repeat the above steps until the plate is full. For the last layer, it takes 10 minutes for the whole to solidify and stabilize.

13. After letting cool, demould and slice for consumption.

Tips:
1. The ratio of raw and cooked syrup is 1:1.2. When adding cooked syrup (sugar water) to the raw syrup (horse's hoof flour syrup), it is necessary to keep stirring to prevent the cooked syrup from blanching the raw syrup. Then add the boiled red beans and stir evenly.
2. At the beginning of steaming the cake, add two spoons of red soybean milk to each layer to ensure the same thickness.
3. Transparent side of the cake means it is well steamed.
