I only like red date version of this cake, love the beautiful fragrance of red date, and more healthy.

 

A bit more work to prepare it, cooking red dates, then remove stones, blend to puree and sieve out skin..... but well worth the effort.

 

I used 450gm red date (with stone), boiled with 500gm water, to make the red date liquid. Mix with 220gm glutinous rice flour and 80gm wheat starch, steam for an hour.

 

A lazy method to serve it is to cut into pieces, instead of searing with egg, just bake at 170˚C until soft and warm, less presentable though.
