The incomparably soft cornmeal and red date cake is sweet and fluffy and more fragrant than bread! Self-use formula tried and tested!

Cooking Instructions

1. Put the cornmeal into the basin first, pour boiling water while stirring with chopsticks, boiling water can make the cake taste particularly soft, keep stirring until the temperature drops to hand temperature, add yeast powder and caster sugar and stir well, temperature and sugar can help fermentation

   

2. Add an egg and stir well until it becomes a thin paste

   

3. Pour in all-purpose flour, stir into a flocculent shape with chopsticks, and then add water to knead into a dough, water can be added slowly in small amounts and many times to avoid the dough being too soft

   

4. Cut the jujube into small cubes, add it to the dough and knead it again, and the cake dough is completed

   

5. Roll out the dough into thick slices 1.5-2 cm thick and place it in a bowl to ferment, brushing the bowl with a thin layer of oil to facilitate demolding

   

6. I use a yogurt maker to help fermentation, the temperature and humidity are relatively low in winter, this method can help rapid fermentation, add a small amount of warm water to the yogurt maker, put in the dough, choose the temperature of 37 degrees, it only takes half an hour to ferment to 2 times the size

   

7. Preheat the steamer in advance, put in the fermented dough, steam in the pot with boiling water for 25 minutes, and simmer for 5 minutes

   

8. The steamed cake is three times the size of the original dough, and the bowl can be easily removed by turning it upside down

   

9. Cut into small cubes, the inside of the hair cake is full of pores, pinch it and rebound quickly, it is really fragrant and soft, and it is super delicious to eat while it is hot~

   

10. Cut it into small pieces, seal it and freeze it, and take it out of the freezer compartment to re-steam it when you eat it, which is especially convenient!
