Purple Temptation——Purple Sweet Potato Hair Cake

Overview

In the world of colors, we all know that purple represents nobility, but it is also a color that is difficult to control, so not everyone is suitable to wear purple, and not everyone can wear purple well. However, in the world of food, we can enjoy all kinds of delicacies made with purple ingredients, such as purple cabbage, eggplant, purple rice, purple onions, purple potatoes, grapes, beets, etc. Moreover, purple can not only enrich the color of our table, it is rich in anthocyanins and has anti-aging properties. Therefore, in addition to green, red, white, and yellow fruits and vegetables, we should also often eat some purple foods. What I want to share today is a purple sweet potato cake that is beautiful, easy to make and delicious. For the recipe, please refer to @_Hui Hui Food Notes_

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Peel and wash the purple sweet potato and cut into small pieces

   

2. 2 Place a steamer under cold water and steam for 10 minutes

   

3. 3 Prepare other ingredients when steaming purple sweet potatoes, this is the overall method

   

4. 4 Melt part of the sugar and part of the yeast with warm water and set aside

   

5. 5 Put the steamed purple sweet potato into a cooking bowl

   

6. 6 Crush it with a garlic pounder or other handy tools. Of course, you can also use a food processor to crush it if it’s not too troublesome, but it will waste a lot of ingredients, so I won’t choose this time-consuming and material-consuming method

   

7. 7 Sift the flour into the purple sweet potato puree

   

8. 8 Add sugar water and yeast water in sequence, and stir in the same direction. If the batter is too dry, you can add another 10g of reserved warm water, and then add an appropriate amount of dried fruit, or you can skip it

   

9. 9 The mixed batter should be in a viscous and stagnant state. Place it in a warm place to ferment for 40 minutes. The temperature in Beijing is much lower now, so I chose a warm place like the steamer where the purple sweet potatoes have just been steamed. The fermentation effect is excellent

   

10. 10 .After 40 minutes, the batter has expanded to 2-2.5 times in size

    

11. 11 Pour the fermented batter into the Cuckoo Hof mold. You can dip your hands in water to smooth the surface and expose the middle. In this way, the steamed cake will be hollow and look good

    

12. 12 Pour cold water into the steamer, turn on the steam and steam for another 25 minutes

    

13. 13 The steamed steamed cake is chubby, which is really pleasing to the eye. Just take it out and release it from the mold. The silicone mold is very easy to release

    

14. 14 Put it into a container and eat
