【Guangdong】Sesame and Purple Sweet Potato Cake

Overview

What else can you do with purple sweet potatoes? Reminiscent of taro, starchy root foods such as water chestnuts can be combined with rice flour to make taro cakes and water chestnut cakes. So can purple sweet potatoes be cooked in the same way? I chose the last recipe for water chestnut cake, which is relatively simple. The order of individual steps was also adjusted based on ease of use. Finally, I gave up the idea of removing the sugar, and finally kept the sugar content. It's okay to be a little sweet. The effect seems to be pretty good. Small pieces of purple sweet potato are embedded in the pink cake that is dyed light purple, with dots of deep purple. . . . Eat, it's okay. It didn't feel particularly good, but, it wasn't bad at all. . .
