Cut cake is a traditional pastry made with glutinous rice flour, sugar and water as the main ingredients. It has a soft and glutinous texture and moderate sweetness. It is very suitable for afternoon tea or dessert.

The hand-cut cake is even more mouth-watering, because its production requires patience and skill. Only carefully crafted hand-cut cake can present the perfect taste and texture.

Material Preparation The materials required to make hand-cut cakes are very simple. You only need to prepare the following ingredients: glutinous rice flour, white sugar, water, cooking oil, sesame powder (optional). Step 1: Make glutinous rice paste. First, we need to mix glutinous rice flour and white sugar.

Together, then slowly add an appropriate amount of water, stirring while adding, until it forms a glutinous rice paste.

Step 2: Steam the glutinous rice paste. Next, we need to pour the prepared glutinous rice paste into the steamer and steam over medium heat for 15-20 minutes until the glutinous rice paste becomes translucent.

Step 3: Add cooking oil. Take out the steamed glutinous rice paste, add an appropriate amount of cooking oil, and then stir evenly with your hands until the glutinous rice paste becomes smooth.

Step 4: Pour the prepared glutinous rice paste into the mold and then use a spatula or flat shovel to flatten the glutinous rice paste to make the surface smooth.

Step 5: Sprinkle sesame powder. If you like to eat sesame-flavored cakes, you can sprinkle an appropriate amount of sesame powder on the surface of the glutinous rice paste, and then press it gently with your hands to make it adhere to the surface of the glutinous rice paste.

Step 6: Cut into small pieces. Place the prepared cut cake at room temperature, wait for it to cool completely, and then cut it into small pieces with a knife.

Tips: When making glutinous rice paste, the amount of water should be appropriate. Too much water will cause the glutinous rice paste to be too thin, and too little will cause the glutinous rice paste to be too dry and hard.

When pouring glutinous rice batter into the cake mold, do not pour too much to avoid uneven pressing.

The taste of the cut cake will vary depending on the brand and quality of the glutinous rice flour. It is recommended to choose good quality glutinous rice flour.

Although the process of making hand-cut cakes is a little tedious, as long as you master the making skills, you can make cut cakes with perfect texture and delicious taste.
