How to make water chestnut cake with thousand layers of coconut milk?
Coconut juice Part 1:
Mix100g horseshoe powder and100g water thoroughly until it is fine and free of particles. Horseshoe powder is granular, which can be left for a period of time after adding water, and then stirred after the powder absorbs enough water.
Put 300 grams of coconut milk and 200 grams of water (or coconut milk) into a milk pot and heat it slowly with low fire, while stirring, don't boil it until it is warm. Coconut juice mixed with coconut milk will be a little sweet. If you mix it with water, you can add some sugar. )
Slowly pour the evenly stirred horseshoe powder into the coconut milk, stirring evenly while pouring. Coconut juice is preferably warm, but not too hot. Warm liquid is helpful for better gelatinization of horseshoe powder. )
Transparent part:
Mix 150g horseshoe powder and 150g water thoroughly until it becomes fine and has no particles.
120g yellow rock sugar and 750g water are heated until the sugar is completely melted. I don't like sweetness. I always try to reduce the amount of sugar. However, most of my friends have tasted it, but the sweetness is not enough. So parents can increase the amount of sugar added to 150 or 160 grams. In short, according to your own taste, the effect and taste of using yellow rock candy or borneol candy are better than ordinary rock candy. )
It is advisable to air the heated yellow rock sugar water to about 65 degrees (it is almost the same to feel a little hot when touching the basin wall).
Slowly pour warm rock sugar water into horseshoe powder solution, stir well while pouring, then add a little mint juice and stir well for later use (you can throw some mint leaves into rock sugar water and cook together, or buy mint essence). The picture shows a bowl of mixed horseshoe powder, yellow and white.
Put the flat bottom plate into the pot, after the water is boiled, scoop a spoonful of white pulp to fill the bottom of the pot, steam for about 2 minutes, then scoop the yellow pulp, so that the white pulp is steamed alternately layer by layer, covering each layer for about 2 minutes, then adding the next layer, covering the pot and steaming for 5- 10 minutes, and then taking out of the pot to cool. I usually have one scoop of white pulp and two scoops of yellow pulp on each floor. Note that if you use two spoonfuls of yellow paste, add a second spoon after one spoon solidifies, otherwise, put two spoonfuls at a time, the powder will precipitate and sugar water will drip on the surface. )
Cool the water chestnut cake after taking it out of the pot, take it out and put it in the refrigerator for 2 hours. When demoulding, gently press the edge of the cake body by hand to separate it from the plate, then gently dig the bottom and pour out the whole cake.
Cut into pieces, plate, eat, eat, and cut as much as you want, hehe!
