Time flies. The epidemic is going to pass. But people still don't give up their vigilance. Of course I do. I seldom go out and stay at home. Looking at the pumpkins purchased from the supermarket, I began to make the pumpkin steamed cake that I wanted to eat these two days

Cooking Steps
Step1:Peel the pumpkin. Cut into small pieces and steam them. The time depends on the size of the pieces you cut. It can be pierced through with chopsticks. It's almost done.
Step2:The steamed pumpkin weighs 150g. Mash it into a paste and put it in a warm and cool place.
Step3:Soak the jujube in boiling water in advance. Cut the jujube into small pieces for use. I think the jujube is more suitable for pumpkin cake. Of course, you don't like jujube. You can also change it into cranberry, raisin and other dried fruits.
Step4:After the pumpkin puree is cooled, add sugar in turn and mix well. Then add milk (or water) and eggs and mix well. Finally, add yeast powder and mix well.
Step5:Add flour at the last point. Use a scraper to mix the flour and pumpkin paste. This step will take a little effort. It's not easy to operate. But please be patient and keep stirring until it's mushy. (note that some pumpkins have less water, so the batter will be dry and thick. But it doesn't matter. The batter of pumpkin cake needs to be dry and thick. It's easy to steam through when steaming. It won't stick to teeth.)
Step6:Cover the dough with plastic wrap. Wake up for about an hour for the first time. Make it twice as big.
Step7:After the first wake-up, use chopsticks to mix the dough again and exhaust the air. Then pour the dough into the mould which has been smeared with oil in advance. Use hands or a scraper to smooth the dough. The thickness of the dough should not exceed 4cm. Otherwise, it is easy to cause the phenomenon of sticking teeth in the middle. Then the second wake-up time is 15 minutes. (the time should not be too long. If it is too long, the teeth will stick.) finally, spread red dates.
Step8:The last step - cold water on the pot. Wait for the water to boil. Start counting 30 minutes. When the time is up, simmer for another 5 minutes, and you will be out of the pot. Remember not to pour distilled water on the surface of the cake when lifting the lid. Then demould. It's done.
Cooking tips:1. The pumpkin cake batter should not be too thin. If it is too thin, there will be sticky teeth. 2. This is the recipe for second awakening. It is more safe than the recipe for first awakening. The purpose of second awakening is to make the honeycomb tissue inside the cake more elastic. 3. Wake up for about an hour for the first time. If you want to speed up the wake up, you can put the dough in a warm place. Observe it in time. Don't let it wake up excessively. 4. The second wake-up time is 15 minutes. It's twice the size of hair. Also put it in a warmer place. 5. The thickness of the dough put into the mold shall not exceed 4cm. If it is too thick, the middle part will not be cooked and the teeth will be sticky. 6. Turn off the heat after 30 minutes and simmer for another 5 minutes to make the cake not easy to collapse. These are the important tips for pumpkin cake. Please read them carefully. There are skills in making delicious dishes.
