Sweet Corn Steamed Cake
1.
Both pumpkin and corn are ready. Normal sweet corn is best for corn. Waxy corn is not recommended. Sweet corn is more juicy and tastes better.
Try to choose older pumpkins, as they are more delicious, but I usually buy glutinous pumpkins that I don’t want to use to make pastries. I use unsweet, unpalatable pumpkins to make haha.
2.
Peel and remove the flesh of the pumpkin and steam it in a steamer for later use.
3.
Let's process the corn when steaming the pumpkin.
The whole corn kernels are peeled off for later use. When peeling the corn, it is best to cut off a row with a knife and break it by hand, so that the peeled corn kernels are relatively complete and the corn germs underneath will not be wasted. Corn germ is more nutritious than corn pellets!
4.
Put the corn pellets into the food processor, add milk, and make a paste.
5.
Pour the corn batter into the pot, add the steamed pumpkin, and then pour the flour.
6.
Stir and mix thoroughly with chopsticks. The pumpkin will be steamed a little bit through and it can be easily mashed. If there are still fine particles, you can use a spatula to slightly crush.
7.
After stirring until the temperature is not hot, add yeast powder and mix well. The final adjusted state is thicker and can be picked up easily with chopsticks.
8.
Brush the inner wall of the mold with a thin layer of oil and place it in a steamer filled with greased paper. Scoop the pumpkin corn paste into the mold, slightly moisten the bottom of the spoon, and smooth the surface slightly.
I use a mold of pineapple cake, each bite looks like a small one, you can directly use a small bowl or a large pot, steam it and cut into pieces.
9.
Cover the pot and let it rise for about 20 minutes.
10.
Decorate with pumpkin seeds.
11.
After the high heat is boiled, steam for another 10 minutes, and let it cool for a while.
Tips:
The older the pumpkin, the more golden the color and the better taste. There is no extra sugar in this breakfast, and the light sweetness of corn and pumpkin is used to make it healthier.
Don't worry about the mold. If it is not for taking pictures, I usually use the pot directly, and cut it into pieces after steaming. It is more enjoyable to eat.
Because of the different varieties of pumpkins, the final dry humidity will definitely be different. Don't worry, a little wet and dry will not have much effect on the taste.
