How to make cornmeal cake

Today I will tell you how to make cornmeal steamed cake. I hope you will take a good look at it and learn how to make it yourself:

Cornmeal steamed cake

I have made a lot of steamed cakes recently, and I like the ones made with cornmeal the most.

I am not very good at making pasta, but this steamed cake is a lazy version. It is super simple to make. Mix the batter in advance and put it in the cooking box, and then bake it. Because the Lekui cooking box can fully preserve the moisture of the food itself, even though it is baked in the oven, it tastes almost the same as steamed.

Every time she eats steamed cake with raisins, Xiao Xiaocai will first pick out the raisins on the top and eat them, and then slowly nibble on the steamed cake below. The happiness brought to her by the raisins dotted on the steamed cake cannot be compared with eating raisins specifically, because they are limited and difficult, and there is also corn steamed cake for taste comparison. So Xiao Xiaocai always points at the steamed cake excitedly and says, "Oh, cake!" After picking up a piece, she points at me happily and says, "Raisins!" Then she will carefully pick out the raisins on the top and eat them, and finally check the bare steamed cake. Although she wants to take another piece, she will eat the steamed cake with a sense of loss after being stopped by me.

The texture of cornmeal steamed cake is relatively rough, but I really love the natural sweetness and solid and simple taste of corn.

Cornmeal steamed cake ingredients

100g cornmeal 35g flour

30g sugar 120g warm water

3 grams of yeast, appropriate amount of raisins

How to make cornmeal cake

1. Wash the raisins and soak them in warm water until soft. Drain the water and set aside. Mix cornmeal, flour and sugar in a large bowl.

2. Mix the yeast in warm water and then slowly pour the yeast water into the flour.

3. Mix well into batter

4. Pour the batter into the Lekui box and tap it gently to make the batter even. Cover the box and place it in a warm and humid place to ferment until the batter expands to twice its size.

5. Sprinkle raisins on the fermented batter and preheat the oven to 160 degrees

6. Put the Lekui cooking box into the oven and bake for about 15 minutes. Use a toothpick to insert the steamed cake and take it out when there is no batter.

Tips

1. It is not necessary to add salt, sugar and other seasonings to the food of babies under 1 year old. Babies under 1 year old have weak digestive ability, so it is enough to add coarse grains appropriately. You can add more flour to make the steamed cake taste softer.

2. This steamed cake is also suitable for the whole family. The ratio of cornmeal to flour can be adjusted according to your taste. The more flour, the fluffier the texture. You can also add milk, coconut milk, cream, etc. to the batter to improve the taste.

3. If you don’t like sweet food, you can omit the sugar.

4. If you don’t have a Lekuei cooking box, you can steam the batter in a heat-resistant container. Oil the inner wall of the container in advance to prevent sticking.
