Rose lotus seed cake

Overview

To participate in the baking competition, the requirements for this issue are home-cooked baking recipes, which are simple and easy to follow. Following this principle, I used a bread machine to make this super simple, super delicious, super nutritious rose and lotus seed cake today! And the ingredients are very simple and easy to obtain. I cooked the lotus seeds in a ceramic pot from the King of Clay Pots. The lotus seeds cooked in the ceramic pot were particularly soft and rotten, and the fried lotus paste was especially soft and smooth. When frying, I use a bread machine to fry the lotus paste, which saves effort. When frying in a wok, my wrists often hurt when frying. Since I got a bread machine with stir-frying function, I use the bread machine to make fillings such as lotus paste and bean paste, which is very convenient. The fried lotus paste filling is wrapped with homemade rose sauce. The smooth lotus paste is filled with the fragrance of roses. Whether it is for afternoon tea, breakfast or snacks, it tastes great!

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Take the required amount of lotus seeds. You can take it according to your needs. I made 7 of this amount. I chose ground Hunan lotus seeds. These lotus seeds are very soft after being boiled, and the fried filling will be very smooth.

   

2. 2 Soak the lotus seeds in cold water for about 20 minutes.

   

3. 3 Put an appropriate amount of water in a ceramic pot, add lotus seeds, bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to low heat and simmer for 40 minutes. The lotus seeds cooked in this way are very soft. Be sure not to use high fire, which wastes energy and makes it less likely to become tender.

   

4. 4 Take out the boiled lotus seeds and put them into a wall breaking machine. Add an appropriate amount of boiled lotus seeds and water and beat into a puree. The wall breaking machine I used made the paste very fine. If not, you can use another food processor to blend.

   

5. 5 Pour the beaten lotus seed paste into the bread bucket, add butter, turn on the automatic stir-fry function, and fry for 40 minutes - 1 hour. The specific time depends on the water content of the lotus seed paste. I made it dry and it was ready after frying for 40 minutes.

   

6. 6 After 40 minutes, the lotus paste was fried very dry, and you could see that it had formed into a ball in the bread bucket. That's it.

   

7. 7 Spread the lotus paste and let it cool, then add honey. The lotus paste must be fried to dryness, otherwise it will be too soft after adding honey and will not be easy to shape.

   

8. 8 Mix the honey evenly. I used the blender function to stir for a minute.

   

9. 9 Divide the prepared lotus paste into 7 portions

   

10. 10 Take the required amount of prepared rose jam

    

11. 11 Take a dollop and flatten it, then fill it with rose jam

    

12. 12 After wrapping tightly, use your hands to knead until the surface is smooth, so that the finished product will look better

    

13. 13 Put it into the mold and shape it.

    

14. 14 Here’s a picture of the finished product. The smooth lotus paste is wrapped in the fragrant rose jam. It’s hard to think whether it tastes good or not
