How to make purple sweet potato cake

Step1

The ingredients are ready. After the chestnut is cooked, remove the shells, pour it into a food processor, add 100 ml of milk, and mash into a puree to make a filling for later use.The filling does not have to be chestnut filling, it can be replaced with bean paste filling, pumpkin filling, minced pork filling, etc. Whatever is convenient, it is easier to use ready-made fillings.

The ingredients are ready.

Step2

Wash the purple sweet potato with the skin and put it in a steamer to steam for 15 minutes. , Take it out after it is fully cooked, peel off the skin and pound it into a puree. Add 30 ml of milk to the purple potato mash, then pour in sugar, and mix the ingredients evenly. The number of grams of sugar can be controlled according to your own taste.

Step6

Brush the inside of the mold with oil. I use a 6-inch cake mold. If you don’t have a mold, you can find a large bowl or basin at home to replace it. First, pour half of the purple potato flour and spread it out. Be careful not to press down hard, it will affect the softness and taste of the sponge cake.

Put the mold in the steamer, cover with a damp cloth, and steam on high heat for about 30 minutes. This step is the point! Be sure to use a damp cloth to cover, so that the taste will be good, do not use high temperature plastic wrap, and do not use small plates! Because the sponge cake powder itself is dry, during the steaming process, we need to let it have a certain degree of moisture, and it will be just right if it is covered with a damp cloth.

Put the mold in the steamer,

Step10

After turning off the heat, continue to simmer for 5 minutes, open the lid and take out, let cool and demould.Don’t open the lid immediately after turning off the heat to prevent the sponge cake from suddenly contacting the cold air and the surface collapses.
