This jujube cake is made to greet the Chinese New Year. It was originally made with pumpkin puree and fire dragon juice and noodles, and then matched with the original colors to make a colorful jujube cake. I didn’t expect it to become a pure color when it was out of the pot. Fortunately, I used pumpkin puree dough for the starter when making the noodles, so the final jujube cake turned yellow, which is also quite flattering. Of course, it does not affect the deliciousness, and the color of the match is still discounted. Where is the problem! This pot of beautiful jujube cakes looks like a festive one. This is the first time I have used pitaya juice to make noodles. I especially like its purple color. I have been looking forward to a brighter color after it is out of the pot. I also hope to taste the taste of pitaya. I did not expect that the purple will disappear after being steamed. I carefully recalled every operation step and repeatedly checked many materials about dragon fruit, but it turned out that the problem was here. I used baking soda to synthesize the acidity when kneading the noodles, and it was steamed at high temperature. "

Ingredients

Flower Steamed Cake

1. 400g noodles are divided into two. I chose the natural fermentation method. I used the dough left over from the previous steaming of the pumpkin buns as a starter, and made two doughs with fire dragon juice and water respectively. Covered with plastic wrap, fermented in a warm place for 4 hours. Above, it is cold in the north, and it can be fermented naturally in a warm water pot. I like the steamed buns that are naturally fermented. They have the aroma of wheat and are not hard when they are left to cool.

11. It turned out to be like this. I can still see a little bit of clues faintly. The flower was originally a purple core and white flower, but now it is a yellow core. Because I used a yellow yeasted noodle, it finally returned to yellow. The yellow in the sun is still pretty!

Tips:

1. The natural dough is sour. It needs to be combined with baking soda to make the pH suitable. The ratio I usually use is 100g flour to 1g baking soda, and I can also operate it according to my own experience.
2. Anthocyanins are particularly sensitive to temperature, so raw food is better. Therefore, it is best not to face alkaline food and high temperature in red pitaya to ensure the therapeutic effect of anthocyanins.
