Purple sweet potato cake

Overview

Purple sweet potatoes are rich in anthocyanins, which are very effective in scavenging free radicals, which are harmful substances, in the body. Moreover, purple sweet potato is rich in plant fiber, which also has a good effect on defecation and gastrointestinal cleansing. Today I used it combined with white flour to make a beautiful purple sweet potato cake. As for whether it is called steamed buns or hair cakes, it seems that there are different names in the north and the south. In fact, the name is not very important, as long as it tastes good!

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Steam purple sweet potatoes, let cool, peel off the skin

   

2. 2 Crush it with a spoon. If you use a food processor and add a little water to make a paste, it will be better. The surface of the steamed purple sweet potato cake will be smoother

   

3. 3 Add flour and white sugar, and rub the purple sweet potato puree and flour together with your hands to make the purple sweet potato pieces smaller as much as possible

   

4. 4 At the same time, add a little cold water to soak the yeast. When the weather is cold in winter, you can use warm water to stimulate the activity of the yeast

   

5. 5 Pour the yeast liquid onto the purple sweet potato flour, stir it with chopsticks, and then gradually add cold water to knead the dough. Do not add all the water at once, but stir it with chopsticks while adding it until it is all fluffy

   

6. 6 Knead it into a ball with your hands. The dough should not be too dry. It should be soft and well-formed, and should be elastic when pressed with your hands

   

7. 7 Pour an appropriate amount of water into the inner pot of the rice cooker. The scale of the pot used by each household is different, so I poured the water near the minimum water level line

   

8. 8 Put the inner pot into the rice cooker, and place the purple sweet potato dough in the steamer drawer of the rice cooker. Grease the steamer drawer with oil or line it with oil paper or steaming cloth in advance, and then cover it with a lid for fermentation

   

9. 9 Open the lid and check the degree of fermentation. Because it is summer, it only took about 30 minutes for it to rise so well that the top of the dough reached the lid of the pot and a piece of the skin was removed. It doesn't matter, just take it off and put it on gently

   

10. 10 Turn on the power, select the "steaming" function, and set the time to 40 minutes. Because the water in the pot is cold, you need to allow time for boiling the water

    

11. 11 When the time is up, let it simmer for 5 minutes before opening the lid. This will prevent the dough from shrinking due to sudden cooling

    

12. 12 So full

    

13. 13 Well organized

    

14. 14 Very soft
