Steamed Sweet Potato With Palm Sugar Cakes

Can you imagine tender sweet potatoes combined with fragrant palm sugar? You have to try this steamed cake!

I have often made steamed cakes from sweet potato ingredients. But I think this cake is simpler than the others. That's because I don't need to work extra hard to shape the steamed cake. I just need to put the dough into a simple cake mold, and the result is like the one in the photo.

It's just..., let me explain to you what really happened. Maybe this all looks like a giant cake that is not beautiful at all. But this happened beyond my expectations. When the steamed cake dough was finished, I just remembered about my steamed cake mold paper that ran out. The cake mold paper should be small. Meanwhile, I only have muffin mold paper. So the giant steamed cake shape is like this, lol.

But, ignore the shape. My cousins ​​who finished this cake said that they wanted this cake again because it was very delicious even though it was only made with sweet potato ingredients.

So, I will share with you Steamed Sweet Potato With Palm Sugar Cakes. The sugar I use is light brown sugar which is in the form of fine grains so it is easy to mix with other ingredients.

Meanwhile, we don't need a mixer at all. We also don't need a balloon whisk. Meanwhile, we only need a fork and a spatula. Let's see the recipe and how to make this steamed cake.
