Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Corn oil mixed with pure milk

   

2. 2 Place in the microwave and heat on high for 2 minutes

   

3. 3 When the temperature is around 65 degrees, sift in the low-gluten flour

   

4. 4 Z-shaped mixing technique allows the flour to be better mixed into the butter and milk mixture

   

5. 5 Add the egg yolks in portions and stir evenly in a Z-shape

   

6. 6 Until all the egg yolks are mixed evenly

   

7. 7 Add the fine sugar to the egg whites in 3 batches and beat

   

8. 8 Whip until wet, that is, lift the whisk and a big hook will appear

   

9. 9 First mix 1/3 of the egg whites into the egg yolk paste, using cutting and stirring techniques

   

10. 10 Then pour the egg yolk paste into the remaining 2/3 of the egg whites, stir and mix evenly

    

11. 11 Pour it into a square plate lined with oil paper and shake it lightly 2 or 3 times

    

12. 12 Preheat the oven to 165 degrees in advance, bake at 165 degrees for 20 minutes, shake it 2 or 3 times after taking it out of the oven, turn it upside down and tear off the parchment paper at the back and let it cool

    

13. 13 Peel taro and purple sweet potato and steam them in a pot (20 minutes)

    

14. 14 Use a rolling pin to roll it into a puree (it’s best to use a food processor to puree it. My food processor happened to be broken, so I had to use the most primitive method)

    

15. 15 Mix taro puree and purple sweet potato puree, add powdered sugar and beat evenly with a whisk

    

16. 16 Add the light cream to the purple sweet potato puree in batches

    

17. 17 Until all the light cream is mixed into the purple potato and taro puree

    

18. 18 Cut off the four sides of the cake roll, and then cut it into 4 slices. It is best to cut one slice slightly wider than the other...

    

19. 19 Take 450g of purple sweet potato and taro puree and spread it on the cake slices

    

20. 20 Roll after roll, from the narrowest to the widest, rolled closely together

    

21. 21 After rolling, use mousse to secure the cake in place and refrigerate for more than 1 hour

    

22. 22 Use 400g of purple sweet potato and taro puree, add some light cream and beat until smooth... This light cream is extra from the recipe, to make the purple sweet potato and taro puree smooth and spread better (the middle of the cake is a little concave)

    

23. 23 Use bamboo charcoal powder and cocoa powder to color the remaining purple sweet potato puree. You need to mix 3 similar colors, so take your time

    

24. 24 Mix the 3 colors and put them into piping bags

    

25. 25 Draw lines on the side of the cake irregularly to create the effect of tree branches and stakes, and refrigerate until later

    

26. 26 Use a small 4-inch cake base and cut it into the shape of a bunny

    

27. 27 Apply the buttercream all over the bunny bit by bit (the buttercream ratio is written on it, mix it directly and beat it evenly. If there is a dregs, just put it in warm water and beat it until it is smooth)

    

28. 28 Use an outline pen to trace the cream on the bunny's body to show the rabbit's wool texture

    

29. 29 Dot the eyes with just dark purple potato mud, and then use red yeast powder to make the nose and cheeks red

    

30. 30 Mount a few small flowers on the buttercream frosting for decoration. The bunny ears can be made of white chocolate or directly decorated with almond slices

    

31. 31 Sieve matcha powder on the surface of the cake, and decorate the lines on the side with some matcha powder and small flowers...

    

32. 32 The finished product is beautiful! And it also has great connotations... Great!
