Let's learn the various methods of making red bean cake

Red bean cake is a very good home-made cake, which can be seen in many cake and pastry shops. In fact, we don't have to go to the store to buy it. We can also make it at home. So what are the methods of making red bean cake?

Method 1

Main Ingredients

250 grams of red beans, 4 cups of boiling water, 1/2 cup of water, 3/4 cup of sugar or 1/2 cup of glutinous rice flour, 1/4 cup of wheat starch, 2 tablespoons of oil, 1 pound of water chestnut flour, 1 pound of flour to 5 pounds of water, and half a pound of sugar.

Production steps:

1. Rinse the red beans, remove impurities, soak in cold water for 2 hours, drain. Mix the two dry powders.

2. Put red beans in a 3-liter deep pot, add 4 cups of boiling water, cover, and heat over high heat for 5 minutes until the water boils. Switch to medium heat (70% power) and cook for 40 minutes, then heat over high heat for 20 minutes. At this point, there is about 1 cup of water in the pot, and the bean juice has been secreted. Keep the red beans.

3. Add 1/2 cup of water, rice flour and wheat flour into a large bowl and mix well. Add 1 cup of boiling red bean juice.

4. Add sugar and oil into the red beans to dissolve, then slowly pour in the batter, stirring continuously until mixed.

5. Pour the red bean cake batter into an oiled long plate (21×11×6 cm), wrap it tightly with plastic film, cover the four corners with aluminum foil, with the dull side facing outwards.

6. Place the cake plate near the edge of the turntable and heat it over high heat for 8 minutes. Turn the cake plate 180 degrees and continue to heat it over medium heat (70% power) for 7 minutes. Set aside to cool and cut into pieces before serving.

Method 2

Steps:

1. Wash about half a pound of red beans with clean water, then soak them in about three to four tablespoons of alkaline water for about half an hour, then put the red beans into the pot and cook until they become soft and sandy. If you want a softer texture, you need to remove the shells of the red beans and make red bean paste;

2. Use your hands to grab the red beans and separate the shell from the sand. Then use a water-separating spoon to separate the shell. You can then separate the sand. To separate the sand, you need to use a special bag (you can sew it yourself with a relatively high-density cloth). Pour the red bean paste into the bag, squeeze out the water, and you will get the pure red bean paste.

3. At the same time, you can boil the sugar with water (the amount of sugar depends on the amount), then pour it into the pre-packed glutinous rice flour (the amount is one pack), and mix it evenly. Then put about one-quarter of the prepared glutinous rice flour into the red bean paste, add appropriate amount of water and boil until it becomes a paste, and finally add appropriate amount of white sugar and mix it evenly;

4. Add the ingredients layer by layer: first add half of the glutinous rice flour and steam. When the flour becomes cake-like, you can add the red bean paste. After everything is evenly spread, cover the pot and finally add the last layer of sticky rice flour and steam until cooked.
