Steamed cake - no baking, no oil, no heat, steaming to welcome the New Year

Overview

I have long wanted to make steamed cakes. No oven or oil is required, just eggs, low-gluten flour and sugar. I have researched several recipes online, including those without beating eggs and adding baking powder; there are also chiffon cake recipes that use whole eggs and only egg whites. I was lazy and did the first method, which failed directly. I don’t know how others did it. The second time I made it, the whole egg was whipped, and it showed a slight shine. The surface of the finished product was a little fluffy, but there was a dead end inside. The third time I changed the method of separating eggs from Qifeng, I went and the steamed stuff looked like rubber bands. The cook is so willful that after the third failure in the morning, he made another whole-egg version one afternoon. Well, you will see the result right away. To sum up, the reason why the second time was unsuccessful was that the eggs were not beaten enough; the third time Qifeng's method was probably due to too much water.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Crack the eggs directly into a clean, water-free basin, and add sugar

   

2. 2 First use a whisk on low setting to beat

   

3. 3 In winter, you need to sit the egg beater in warm water, which is more conducive to beating.

   

4. 4 Beating whole eggs takes a little longer than beating egg whites separately. Later, use high-grade whipping

   

5. 5 It takes about 10 minutes

   

6. 6 When you lift the whisk, the egg batter will drip very slowly, and the "little bulges" will not disappear immediately.

   

7. 7 Sift the flour into the egg batter twice

   

8. 8 Quickly chop and mix, making crosses in opposite directions.

   

9. 9 Pour the batter into the mold and knock out big bubbles. I used a six-piece cake mold with a paper tray inside.

   

10. 10 After the water boils, add the cake embryo

    

11. 11 Afraid of dripping water, another identical six-part mold was placed upside down on top.

    

12. 12 Steam over medium heat for 10 minutes

    

13. 13 Turn off the heat and wait about 3 minutes before taking off the lid.

    

14. 14 The flour was not mixed enough and the pores were a bit big

    

15. 15 New Year’s food, not bad

    

16. 16 Break apart, the texture is solid.

    

17. 17 Delicious afternoon tea with coffee.

    

18. 18 Dinner is not bad either.

    

19. 19 This is the third time I took a photo with this or fourth work. Who doesn’t have a bad past, haha.
