How to Make Yam and Purple Potato Cake

Yam and purple potato cake is a healthy, visually appealing dessert loved for its natural sweetness and soft texture. Here’s a simple recipe to make it at home.

Ingredients: 200g yam, 200g purple potato, 50g sugar (adjust to taste), 2 tablespoons milk, and a handful of osmanthus or chopped nuts for garnish.

Steps:

1. Prepare the vegetables: Peel and dice the yam and purple potato. Steam them for 15–20 minutes until tender. Mash both into smooth purees separately.

2. Mix the dough: In a bowl, combine the yam puree, sugar, and milk. Stir until a soft dough forms. Repeat with the purple potato puree if desired for a marbled effect.

3. Shape and steam: Take a small portion of the dough, roll it into a ball, and flatten it into a cake shape (about 1cm thick). Place it on a parchment-lined steamer.

4. Cook: Steam over medium heat for 10 minutes until firm. Let it cool slightly before garnishing with osmanthus or nuts.

Tips: For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract. Serve warm for the best taste! This cake is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients, making it a perfect treat for any occasion.
