Homemade dream souvenir, milky purple sweet potato cake. Beautiful pink and purple, lovely small pastries before and after meals, recently became a popular product in my house, inspired by the popular souvenirs brought by my cousin to Japan not long ago. Purple sweet potato tarts, purple sweet potatoes, are very common and ordinary. For food, my mother often prepares a steamed purple potato as a staple food for whole grains at breakfast. It left me with the impression that it has a lot of benefits, but the taste is very dry, and there is a feeling of choking. After eating the purple sweet potato tarts brought from Japan this time, the taste was delicate, sweet but not greasy, which swept away my bad impression of purple sweet potato. Homemade purple sweet potato cake can be refrigerated as a kind of pastry, or it can be modified into purple sweet potato filling, making bread, moon cake filling are all good choices, hot and cold will have different flavors, hot purple sweet potato mash is very It is soft and has a delicate and smooth taste. After being refrigerated, it becomes hard due to the butter, and it feels more like mung bean cake. The purple sweet potato itself is pinkish purple, but it will become darker after being heated and processed. The anthocyanin has a lively character and will change color due to many factors. The secret to the beauty of this purple sweet potato cake is that lemon juice, because anthocyanins meet acid, will turn pink, and will develop blue when it meets alkali. After adding lemon juice, the color of the purple potato mash will change, turning into a very beautiful pinkish purple.

If you have any questions, you can send them to me in the public account, search for "feixiaogumeishi", or "one person, one rabbit, one kitchen".
2. The purple potato mash can be mashed with a cooking machine, or it can be beaten with a rolling pin, the latter is more recommended. The amount of powdered milk, butter and powdered sugar is not fixed, but can be more or less, adjusted according to your preferences, the more you add, the more flavorful and more delicious the milk. You can use the jam function or manually use the pot to fry the mud, which is similar to making red bean paste. Lemon juice can be squeezed out with fresh lemons to make the color brighter, or not added. The heating of honey will destroy the nutrition, so it can be cooled and mixed in after finishing the work.
