Hair cake is one of the common cakes in daily life. Soft and sweet taste, widely loved by people. When steaming cakes, the time needs to be controlled, neither too long nor too short. The time is too short, the cake is not cooked in the middle, and mucus will appear. After a long time, the cake loses too much nutrition and moisture, and the taste is dry and tasteless. Generally speaking, hair cakes are steamed by fire.

Is the cake steamed by fire? It is recommended to steam all the time with a big fire.

When steaming cakes, it is recommended to steam them with strong fire all the time to make them thoroughly cooked and maximize the fermentation rate. The steamed cake is fluffy and chewy. If steamed slowly with low fire, not only the steaming time is long, but also the nutrient loss of the cake is too short, and the cake may be sticky, which will have a certain impact on the taste of food. In addition, both cold water and hot water can be steamed, but the cold water steaming time is long.

Does the cake need to be vented for secondary fermentation? Generally, it is not necessary.

The fermentation of hair cake is the key to make it well. In the secondary fermentation of the cake, there is no need to exhaust, because the steamer itself has tiny holes, which can effectively discharge the excess gas slowly. If you exhaust yourself, the surface of the cake will shrink, which will affect the fluffy feeling of the cake. In addition, steamed hair cakes need to be stewed for 3-5 minutes before they can be opened.

What should I do if my steamed cake is not cooked in the middle? If it is not cooked halfway, it is mostly caused by insufficient steaming time. I suggest you continue to steam the cake in the steamer for a while, or cut it into small pieces and steam it in the oven for 3-5 minutes. This kind of cake has a special taste. In addition, when steaming cakes, you need to put a layer of wet steamer cloth on the bottom to avoid sticking to the bottom.
