How to make red bean and sweet potato cake

• 

  1.Wash the red beans, soak them for a few hours in advance and drain them.

• 

  2. Place the lower layer of the two-layer steamer and add water to boil.

• 

  3. Prepare a sweet potato.

• 

  4. Peel and wash, cut into thin pieces, and steam on the upper layer of a two-tier steamer ( Steam the sweet potatoes on top and cook the red beans below)

• 

  5. Steam the sweet potatoes and press them into puree with a spatula.(Let the red beans continue to cook).

• 

  6.Except the red beans, put the other ingredients in the ingredient list into the bread machine, start and 3 minutes.

• 

  7. Pick up the red beans that have been boiled until they just open, drain the water, pour them into the bread machine and continue stirring 2 minutes.

• 

  8. The mixture should be thick and moist (it only takes 5 minutes to knead the dough, If stirred for too long, gluten will form, and the texture will be like bread when steamed, which is relatively dry)

• 

  9. Pour the thick batter into a steamer tray or cake mold (this is an 8-inch cake mold), and smooth it out with a spatula dipped in water.

• 

  10. Place in a warm place or use an oven to heat and ferment until it reaches 2 to 2.5 times its original size.That’s it.

• 

  11. After the water in the pot boils, put it in and steam for 25 minutes, then turn off the heat and simmer for 5 more minute.

• 

  12. Let cool and press the edge of the cake to release it from the mold.

• 

  13.There are many "honeycombs" after cutting into pieces, and the internal organization is good!
