Quite frankly I've never been a huge fan of carrot cake. But i've started liking it ever since i move to China, cos i just crave for anything and everything not available in here! So my inlaw's inlaw had a very nice pumpkin cake recipe that is easily adaptible to carrot cake. Yummilicious!
Here u go fern!
Pumpkin/Radish/Yam Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
1kg pumpkin (remove skin and cut into small pieces)
1.2 litre water
Handful dried shrimps
1-2 Chinese sausage (or more if u like)
10 dried mushrooms (diced, and not the magic kind)
600g Finest Rice Flour
1 TBSP cornstarch
8 shallots
1 TSP salt
2 TBSP Sesame Oil
8 TBSP Cooking Oil
Pinch of pepper
Steps:
- Mix rice flour, cornstarch, pepper, salt, sesame oil and soak in water for 1 hr.
- Pan fry shallots in oil until golden brown. Add dried shrimps and fry for 3 mins, followed by sausage and mushrooms, fry until fragrant. Lastly, put in pumpkin and fry till soft.
- Turn off fire. Add in flour mixture and mix well (Texture when u use pumpkin, yam and radish is different, the latter is more watery).
- Transfer mixture to a tray/dish suitable for steaming.
- Steam for 1.5hrs or until thoroughly cooked.
Easy right!?
