There are several ways to make delicious and nutritious cornmeal and red date cakes. I think the more delicious one is to steam it in a pot, the other is to bake it in the oven, and the second one is more delicious. A little more fragrant, but both methods are almost the same.

The first step is to prepare materials. 140 grams of ordinary flour, 140 grams of cornmeal, 40 grams of tapioca starch, 200 grams of water, 100 grams of brown sugar, a few drops of white vinegar, two eggs, 6 grams of yeast, and 4 red dates. The role of the eggs here is to make the steamed cake more fragrant and solidify. The white vinegar removes the fishy smell of the eggs. You don’t need to add tapioca starch. The main purpose of tapioca starch is to make the steamed cake stronger. If you like to eat softer, you don’t need to add it. , red dates are also placed according to personal preference. But it’s best not to adjust the proportion of flour randomly, otherwise it may not rise.

When making, you must first prepare brown sugar water. The brown sugar water must be soaked in hot water. Pour 100 grams of hot water into the brown sugar, stir to melt, and let cool to 30 to 40 degrees Celsius. When the temperature is about 10 degrees, add the yeast powder, stir evenly, and then beat two eggs into it. Remember to stir evenly in this step. It is best to use a whisk to stir, do not use chopsticks, otherwise the eggs will not disperse and the mouthfeel will not be good. Then sift the common flour, cornmeal and tapioca flour together into a basin, stir with a whisk, and stir in a Z-shape while stirring, so that the stirred cake will not become hard. Then put the stirred cake into the oiled cake. In the mold, shake it a few times to remove air bubbles, then put it in a pot with warm water to ferment. It will take about half an hour. When it ferments until doubled in size, it can be cooked. At this time, wash the red dates and cut them into small pieces. on top of the batter.

Delicious steamed cakes are generally in the shape of a honeycomb. If they are steamed in a pot, they can generally be in a honeycomb shape. Do not take them out immediately after steaming, as this will cause the surface of the cake to become wrinkled. Yes, it is best to wait five minutes before taking it out. If it is baked in the oven, the heat should not be too high. It should be baked at about 140 degrees for 40 minutes.
