How to make steamed water chestnut cake

1. Water chestnut powder.

2. Prepare ingredients: 125g water chestnut powder, 125g white sugar (I don’t like the amount that is too sweet), 450g milk (this time I tried replacing water with milk), divided into: 300g boiled sugar water, 150g Open water chestnut powder.

3. Use 150g cold water to boil the water chestnut powder slurry.

4. Add 125g of white sugar to 300g of milk and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat immediately. Milk is more difficult to boil than water and is easier to burn, so be careful.

5. First pour a spoonful of boiled sweet milk into the water chestnut powder slurry made of cold milk. I don’t understand the principle of this step, but my mother said so, so I followed it, probably to let the cold water chestnut powder slurry get used to the next step, haha!

6. Then pour all the boiled sweet milk into the water chestnut powder slurry and stir evenly.

7. Apply a thin layer of oil on the bottom of the dish so that it will not stick to the bottom when steamed.

8. After the water is boiled, you can place the dish and steam it - medium heat. This time I steamed four layers of water chestnut cake, so the first time I just poured in a quarter of the water chestnut powder slurry and steamed it for 5 minutes, then poured in the water chestnut powder slurry layer by layer and steamed it for 5 minutes each... and so on... about 20 All four layers of water chestnut cake are steamed in just minutes.

9. This is the second layer that has been steamed. I am going to add the third layer of water chestnut powder. Because milk is used this time, it is milky white. According to everyone's preferences and tastes, you can use white sugar, yellow sugar, or red sugar.

10. The water chestnut cake that has just been steamed is still very hot, and there is still a lot of water vapor on the surface, so it is still very soft. If you eat it at this time, it will not taste that good.

11. The water chestnut cake will change color and harden after cooling. Only at this time can it be smooth and moderate to eat.

12. I learned how to steam water chestnut cake four times using 500g of water chestnut powder. This time was the most successful. I’m so happy!

13. The only flaw is: the milk smell is strong, covering up the horse hoof flavor. However, each has its own characteristics and preferences. Everyone can use water, milk, or coconut milk according to their own preferences, haha!
