Purple Qi Donglai——purple Sweet Potato Cake
1.
Peel the fresh purple sweet potato, wash and cut into chunks, drain the water for later use.
2.
Put the purple sweet potato chunks in the steamer and steam.
3.
Steam the purple sweet potato cubes, to judge whether the purple sweet potato is steamed well, you can use the tip of a chopstick to stick it. If you can easily penetrate the purple sweet potato, it means it is steamed.
4.
Take out the steamed purple potato cubes and use a wooden spoon to help press them into a purple potato paste, making it as delicate as possible.
5.
Pour 210 grams of purple potato mash into a stainless steel basin.
6.
Add 30 grams of caster sugar.
7.
Pour in 230 grams of pure milk.
8.
Stir all the ingredients evenly with a wooden spoon. If the family with a food processor can pour them all into the food processor to make a purple sweet potato paste, if not, spend more time and effort like me to stir them into a very delicate purple sweet potato. The purple sweet potato must not have small bumps, otherwise the steamed hair cake will not be beautiful.
9.
Add 5 grams of yeast powder.
10.
Continue to stir evenly to make the yeast powder and purple potato paste fully fuse together.
11.
Sift in 300 grams of flour.
12.
Put on disposable gloves and knead them into a dough with your hands.
13.
Prepare an eight-inch live-bottom cake mold so that it is easy to take. If you don’t have one, you can use a round container at home.
14.
Pour the dough into the cake mold, pull the dough with your hands to spread the whole bottom of the cake, and press the surface tightly to smooth it.
15.
Let it ferment to twice the size of the original dough, because it is winter. In order to save time, I put a pot of hot water in the oven and put the cake mold on top of the hot water to ferment the dough. The time should not be too long. For about half an hour, you can see that the dough has been fermented to be about twice as big as before. Don't let it out, otherwise the cake will become sour.
16.
The fermented dough can be decorated with your favorite dried fruits such as raisins and red dates.
17.
Put the cake mold in the steamer, cover the lid, bring to a boil on high heat, then turn to medium heat and continue to steam for about 30 minutes.
18.
Don't rush the steamed rice cake out of the pot, wait until the heat is turned off and simmer for about 5 minutes before taking it out.
19.
After the cake is completely cooled, first use a long-handled cake knife (you can use a fruit knife without a cake knife) to make a circle around the mold to demould the periphery, and then gently lift the cake bottom to make a circle. The shaped big hair cake came out.
20.
When eating, use a serrated knife to cut into pieces and put on a plate.
21.
This purple sweet potato hair cake is not only very beautiful in color, but also very soft in your mouth, you can also feel the thick purple sweet potato flavor, and the raisins dotted on the surface also add a rich taste, suitable for the elderly and children!
