Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Peel, wash and cut fresh purple potatoes into cubes, drain and set aside.

   

2. 2 Place the purple potato cubes on the plate and steam them in a steamer.

   

3. 3 Steam the purple sweet potato pieces. To judge whether the purple sweet potato is cooked through, you can use the tip of a chopstick to prick it. If the purple sweet potato can be easily pierced through, it means it is steamed.

   

4. 4 Take out the steamed purple potato pieces and use a wooden spoon to help press them into a purple potato paste. Try to press it as finely as possible.

   

5. 5 Pour 210 grams of purple sweet potato puree into a stainless steel basin.

   

6. 6 Add 30 grams of caster sugar.

   

7. 7 Pour in 230 grams of pure milk.

   

8. 8 Use a wooden spoon to stir all the ingredients evenly. If you have a food processor, you can pour them all into the food processor and beat it into a purple sweet potato paste. If not, just spend more time and strength like me and stir them into a very fine purple sweet potato paste. The purple sweet potato must not leave small lumps, otherwise the steamed cake will not be beautiful.

   

9. 9 Add 5 grams of yeast powder.

   

10. 10 Continue to stir evenly until the yeast powder and purple sweet potato paste are fully combined.

    

11. 11 Sift in 300 grams of flour.

    

12. 12 Wear disposable gloves and knead them thoroughly with your hands to form a dough and set aside.

    

13. 13 Prepare an eight-inch loose-bottomed cake mold for easy access. If you don’t have one, you can also use a round container at home.

    

14. 14 Pour the dough into the cake mold, spread the dough over the entire cake base with your hands, and press the surface firmly to smooth it out.

    

15. 15 Let it ferment until the dough doubles in size. Because it is winter now, in order to save time, I put a basin of hot water in the oven and placed the cake mold on the baking grid above the hot water to ferment. The time should not be too long, about an hour and a half. When you see that the dough has fermented and is about twice as big as before, it is ok. Do not overproof it, otherwise the cake will taste sour.

    

16. 16 The fermented dough can be garnished with your favorite dried fruits such as raisins and red dates.

    

17. 17 Put the cake mold into the steamer, cover it, bring it to a boil over high heat, then turn to medium heat and continue steaming for about 30 minutes.

    

18. 18 Don't rush to take the steamed cake out of the pan. Turn off the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes before taking it out.

    

19. 19 After the cake is completely cool, use a long-handled cake knife (you can also use a fruit knife if you don't have a cake knife) to go around the mold to release the surrounding area, then gently push the loose bottom of the cake up, and a large round cake will come out.

    

20. 20 When ready to eat, use a serrated knife to cut into pieces and serve on a plate.

    

21. 21 This purple sweet potato cake is not only very beautiful in color, but also very soft in your mouth. You can also feel the strong purple sweet potato flavor. The raisins dotted on the surface also add a rich taste, making it suitable for the elderly and children!
