Spicy cake is also called hair cake in my hometown. This is a very popular and famous snack cake. Why is it so famous?
Mainly because in rural Guangdong, many people give children red envelopes and cakes when building houses and laying foundations. Generally, a child who can get a red envelope and a cake is a good start, which means good luck.

Today, I would like to share with you how my family makes hair cakes. If you like, you might as well collect it first. You can try it sometime.
Brown sugar cake
Ingredients: flour (sticky rice flour) and brown sugar.
Seasoning: yeast, baking soda, cooking oil.
Detailed practice
1. Add100g of brown sugar to a large plate, and then add 200g of warm water. The water temperature should not be too high, because yeast is needed. At this time, continue to stir with chopsticks and let the brown sugar melt as soon as possible. After the brown sugar melts, pour in 3 grams of yeast, continue to stir evenly, and then let it stand for a few minutes to fully dissolve the yeast in the brown sugar water. During this time, pour half a catty of flour into another plate, or use sticky rice noodles. Generally, many Cantonese people use sticky rice noodles. I didn't buy sticky rice noodles, so I used flour instead.
2. Pour the prepared brown sugar water into the flour, stir while pouring, try to stir until there are no small particles in the flour, then cover with plastic wrap and ferment for about 2 hours. If the weather is cold, the fermentation time will be longer. Time is up, open the plastic wrap, add 3 grams of baking soda, and continue to stir evenly for about 2-3 minutes. After stirring, set aside.
3. Prepare several bowls, and you can use them if you have molds. Brush a layer of cooking oil on the bowl for easy demoulding. Put the batter into the bowl, remember not to fill it too full, or it will overflow. Generally, filling the batter to 6-7 is enough, preferably 50-60%, and no more than 7 portions is enough. After the batter is packed, cover it with plastic wrap and ferment for 20 minutes. Time's up. Put the batter in a boiling steamer and steam it.
4. After the bowl filled with batter is put into the steamer, cover the pot and steam for 20-25 minutes. When steaming, you can see that the cake is slowly maturing and cracking, which looks very beautiful. It's time. Turn off the fire and open the lid, and a fragrance will come out. Let the cake cool slightly in the pot.
5. Take out the slightly cool hair cake and serve. Hair cakes are soft and delicious, and they smell sweet. They are children's favorite. Even if this simple and delicious Guangdong brown sugar hair cake is ready, the method and ingredients are very simple. If you like it, try it quickly.
