Red dates and corn cake

Overview

I saw an expert making steamed cakes in a microwave oven. This is much faster than using a steamer. I would like to give it a try at home during the holidays!

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Put corn flour into a basin

   

2. 2 Add flour and brown sugar

   

3. 3 Dissolve the yeast with warm water

   

4. 4 Add yeast water and appropriate amount of warm water to the flour and stir into a thick batter

   

5. 5 Prepare a microwave bowl and brush it with cooking oil

   

6. 6 Pour the evenly mixed batter into the bowl

   

7. 7 Wash the red dates in advance and cut them into small pieces and place them on the batter

   

8. 8 Let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size. I fermented it in the oven at low temperature for 40 minutes

   

9. 9 After fermentation is completed, heat it in the microwave for 3 minutes

   

10. 10 After taking it out, try it with a toothpick to see if there is any powder stuck to it. If not, it means it is cooked. If there is still moisture on the surface, put it in the microwave again for 1.5 minutes, this time without a lid. You must decide the heating time according to your own situation!
