How to Make Steamed Pumpkin Cake: A Simple Guide

Steamed pumpkin cake is a moist, healthy, and fragrant dessert loved by all ages. Here’s an easy guide to making it at home.

Ingredients: 300g fresh pumpkin (peeled and cubed), 200g all-purpose flour, 100g sugar, 3 eggs, 10g baking powder, 50ml milk, and 30ml vegetable oil. Optional: a pinch of salt or cinnamon for extra flavor.

Steps:

1. Prepare the pumpkin: Steam pumpkin cubes until soft (about 15 minutes), then mash into a smooth puree. Let it cool.

2. Mix wet ingredients: In a bowl, beat eggs with sugar until frothy. Add milk, oil, and pumpkin puree; stir well.

3. Combine dry ingredients: Sift flour and baking powder together. Gradually fold into the wet mixture until just combined—do not overmix to keep the cake tender.

4. Steam: Pour the batter into a greased cake pan. Steam over medium heat for 25-30 minutes. Check with a toothpick—if it comes out clean, the cake is done.

Tips: For a richer taste, add chopped walnuts or raisins. Serve warm for the best texture! This cake is naturally gluten-free if you substitute with rice flour. Enjoy this simple, delicious treat that’s perfect for breakfast or afternoon tea!
