Date Cake

Ingredients formula: 1.3 kg eggs, 1.5 kg pork fat, 500 g candied jujubes, 500 g walnut kernels (peeled), 500 g candied melon, 100 g roses, 530 g flour, 1.3 kg white sugar, 250 g candied cherries, a little black sesame.

Production method: 1. Remove the skin and tendons from the pork fat, and cut into fine grains the size of a little finger. Chop the candied jujubes, walnut kernels and candied melon into even smaller grains.

2. Put the white sugar and eggs into a container, and beat and stir repeatedly with bamboo chopsticks for about 20 minutes until foamy and milky white, then add the flour and stir evenly, then add the pork fat, candied jujubes, walnut kernels, candied melon, cherries, roses, etc., and stir well.

3. Spread a layer of paper on the bottom of the steamer, and stand a piece of wood about 10 cm long upright against the side to let steam through. Pour the stirred cake batter into the steamer and spread it flat, making sure the thickness is the same everywhere, and sprinkle with a little sesame. Steam over high heat for about 1 hour. If a small bamboo skewer inserted into the cake comes out without batter sticking to it, it is steamed through; then quickly turn it out onto a work board, peel off the lining paper while hot, and after it cools, cut into small pieces 3 cm square and it is done.

Product characteristics: Sweet and delicious, oily but not greasy, and nutritious.
