Steamed----------Red Date Walnut Cake

Overview

This red date and walnut cake from Jiuhe Western Pastry Shop has fascinated me for a long time. My children and I both love it. It tastes soft and a little bit spicy. There are a lot of chopped red dates and walnuts in it, which gives it a full texture! One time when I visited "Food World", I saw Tuo Tuo Ma's Mala Cake. I tried making it and found that it tasted very similar to Jiuhe's pastry. So, the homemade red date and walnut cake was finally born. This pastry is very suitable for children. The red dates and walnuts are quite nutritious, and it is steamed, so mothers don’t have to worry about their children getting angry after eating too much!

  8. Pour into the mold, wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for one night to ferment. (I use an 8-inch square mold. You can also brush a thin layer of butter inside the mold before pouring the batter, so that it can be easily removed from the mold after steaming)

  9. After fermenting for one night, take it out, pour cold water into the pot, put the steaming rack in place, put the egg paste mold on the steaming rack and steam over low heat. After the water boils, turn to high heat and steam for 15 minutes, then simmer for another 5 minutes and open the lid.
