Steamed cake

Overview

Dear friends who don’t have an oven, here’s the bonus. Today I recommend a delicious cake that can be made without an oven, a steamed cake! It was my first time trying to make a steamed cake, and I was completely impressed by the finished product. The steamed cake looked white and soft, with a fresh and refined temperament, just like a fairy! Can't help but like it! Everyone has asked about the recipe for steaming cakes. Yesterday, a friend asked on WeChat if there is a recipe for steaming cakes. I said that the recipe for ordinary sponge cakes should be fine. However, I have never tried it myself. Is it too unconvincing? Ask me why the cake shrinks so much. I can’t tell. So, I tried it myself to see the effect. The recipe I used was an ordinary whole-egg sponge recipe, and the effect was pretty good.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Add the eggs, sugar, and honey all into the basin.

   

2. 2 Beat the eggs at high speed.

   

3. 3 When it looks like the picture above, the foam becomes fine and enlarged, there is resistance to flow, and the traces on the surface are difficult to disappear.

   

4. 4 Sift in the flour and mix gently and quickly. Pay attention to the cutting and mixing techniques to avoid serious defoaming. If you really don't know how to do it, you can go to Baidu and download the whole egg cake making video to learn. Pour in vegetable oil or olive oil and continue to chop and mix evenly.

   

5. 5 Place the paper mold into the cake tray, pour the mixed cake batter into the paper mold,

   

6. 6 Pour cold water into the steamer,

   

7. 7 Set the time for 20 minutes. Bring to a boil first, then turn to medium-low heat and steam slowly to allow the cake time to fully rise. If you are worried about undercooking, you can extend the steaming time.

   

8. 8 The picture above is what it looks like when it is steamed for 7 minutes. It is all puffed up beautifully. Because I estimated the time wrongly, it started to fall back after the 15-minute ceasefire. I added another five minutes before it was fully cooked. Therefore, steaming cakes, like baking cakes, needs to be baked slowly at low temperature to give the cake time to fully rise. If it is fully cooked, it will not shrink.
