This type of hair cake is completely kneaded with cooked pumpkin puree. The color is golden, sweet and delicious. After the second fermentation (generally, the hair cake is only fermented once), the taste is very similar to the horse cake, very tough, and the Q bomb does not stick to the teeth.

Tips:
1. The dough for making steamed buns is softer than steamed buns and buns, so that the steamed cakes are soft and delicious, but not too thin, otherwise the taste will be sticky and not elastic.
2. Pumpkin and red dates already have a sweet taste, and the amount of sugar increases or decreases according to personal preference.
