How to make pumpkin cake

Pumpkin steamed cake is a well-known snack food. The main ingredients are pumpkin and flour. Most people think that the process of making pumpkin steamed cake purchased outside should be very complicated. In fact, through the following methods, you will find that you can make it in your daily life.

Method 1

1. Peel the pumpkin, cut it into pieces, cook it, and mash it into a paste;

2. Add self-raising flour and hot milk while it is still hot, because fermentation requires a certain temperature. Unlike making small pumpkins, pumpkin cakes need to be made into a thinner pumpkin paste, which requires a certain fluidity.

3. Put the pumpkin paste into a sealed container and place it at room temperature for 2-3 hours. After it doubles in volume, steam it in water for 20 minutes.

Comments: The pumpkin steamed cake has a very soft texture and a special aroma of flour products. It is a good choice for breakfast. You can also add various dried fruits into the steamed cake according to your personal taste, such as wolfberry, raisins, walnut kernels, red dates, etc.

Method 2

1. The pumpkin puree must be cooled before adding yeast powder, otherwise the yeast will be scalded to death and there will be no fermentation effect.

2. If you like sweet, you can add 30-50 grams of sugar

3. Apply oil to the inner wall of the mold to prevent sticking and make it easier to remove from the mold.

4. Ferment until it is more than twice its size, but not too much. Over-fermentation can easily lead to a sour taste.

5. Soak raisins and dried cranberries in advance for a better taste!
