Pumpkin and Red Date Hair Cake

Overview

Pumpkins are rich in carotenoids, which are absorbed by the human body and converted into vitamin A. Vitamin A combines with protein to form opsin. This synthetic substance is very important for the human body to form good visual function. If children are deficient in this substance during their growth and development stages, it will adversely affect their vision development and lead to night blindness. Although the texture of this pumpkin and red date cake is not as delicate as that of Western cakes, it is rich in nutrients and exudes the natural sweetness of pumpkin and red dates. It is also very delicious.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Weigh the ingredients and set aside.

   

2. 2 Steam the pumpkin until cooked. While hot, add sugar and mix well. After cooling, add eggs and mix well. Add yeast and mix well.

   

3. 3 Gradually add flour and mix well. Because the degree of water absorption of flour is different, if it is too thick, you can add the water from the steamed pumpkin. I put about 20 ml. The batter after mixing evenly will have a slightly thick consistency. Place into a six-inch cake mold. Smooth the surface as much as possible.

   

4. 4 In order to ferment quickly, I put it in the steamer after steaming the pumpkin and fermented it with the residual temperature. It will ferment into a nearly full mold in about 30 minutes. Place the red dates and half a walnut kernel in the middle as requested by my son.

   

5. 5 Steam over medium heat for 25 minutes. Do not lift the lid immediately, simmer for 5 minutes.

   

6. 6 It is sweet and delicious, and the sweetness of red dates and pumpkin itself is also very good without adding sugar.
