How to make pumpkin Steamed Chinese sponge cake

1. First, prepare a piece of pumpkin, wash and peel it, remove the pumpkin seeds, cut them into thin slices of about 250 grams with a knife, and then steam them in a pot. Then steam the pumpkin and add 20 grams of white sugar (the amount of white sugar can be adjusted according to personal taste), and press it into a delicate pumpkin puree.

2. Let it cool and add 3 grams of yeast to stir evenly. If the temperature of the pumpkin puree is too high, the yeast will be burned to death. After stirring evenly, add 2 eggs and continue stirring evenly.

3. Next, prepare 300 grams of flour, including medium and high gluten flour. Pour in the flour while stirring, and finally stir it into a relatively dry batter. The drier the batter is stirred, the firmer the steamed batter will be, and it will not easily collapse. Cover with a layer of plastic wrap, seal in a warm place, and let it grow to twice its size.

4. Stir the batter that has been awakened with a shovel and remove any air inside. This way, after two awakenings, its pores will be even and delicate, making it less likely to collapse.

5. During the awakening time, let's prepare a handful of jujubes, wash them with clean water, then cut them in half and remove the seeds for later use. When the dough is stretched to twice its original size, be sure not to let it rise too much. If it does, the gluten won't be able to support it and it will collapse when steamed. Place the jujube on top of it.

6. Start the pot and heat it up, then add cold water to the pot, because the process of boiling is also the process of yeast fermentation. If you add hot water to the pot, the yeast will be directly burned to death, and there will be no awakening process. The whole process is steamed by high fire. The high fire can quickly shape the internal organization of pumpkin Steamed Chinese sponge cake to prevent collapse. It takes about 20 minutes to steam and 5 minutes to stew
