In the past, every time I baked a cake, many novice mothers said it was very difficult. Some said it was too difficult to pass the egg whites, some said there was no oven, and some even worried that the baked cake would catch fire.

Therefore, I recently studied a pumpkin millet cake that doesn't need to be sent away, oven, or even sugar or oil, which is super suitable for novice mothers with weak hands-on ability.

Considering that some babies are allergic to eggs, I didn't use eggs this time. I directly chose millet rich in B vitamins and minerals such as calcium, phosphorus and potassium, mixed with pumpkin rich in carotene and milk with high calcium, and added a small amount of aluminum-free baking powder instead of difficult protein. The operation is simpler and the success rate is higher.

Some sisters don't have ovens, so I changed to steamed millet cakes, which everyone can cook without getting angry.

Although there is no sugar added, the millet cake is a mixture of the sweetness of pumpkin and the milk fragrance of formula milk, so it is also soft and delicious, and it is more nutritious and healthier!
