Ingredients: 100 grams of red dates (with seeds removed), 5 eggs (about 320 grams), 50 grams + 20 grams of brown sugar, 65 grams of oil, 50 grams of milk, 130 grams of all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda (optional), an appropriate amount of water, an appropriate amount of sesame seeds (optional).
How to make red bean cake
Cut the seeded red dates into small pieces, put them in a milk pot, add an appropriate amount of water to soak for about 20 minutes (the water level should just cover the red dates). Then add a little more water than before, add 50 grams of brown sugar, and simmer the red bean paste over low heat. Continuously use the back of a spoon to press and mix the date flesh until it becomes very thick and paste-like. Turn off the heat, add 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda, mix well, and let it cool on the side.
Separate the egg whites from the yolks, the container for the egg whites must be water and oil-free
Beat the yolks, add 65 grams of corn oil and mix well, then add 50 grams of milk and mix well
Sift in the all-purpose flour and mix evenly (at this point, the batter may feel a bit dry, do not add any liquid ingredients).
Add the cooled red bean paste and mix evenly (the batter that felt dry before will become much thinner after mixing)
Start beating the egg whites, first knock the lumps of brown sugar powder to prevent them from not dissolving after being added to the egg whites.
Whip the egg whites at high speed until they form a coarse fish-eye texture, then add half of the brown sugar powder. Continue to whip at high speed until fine bubbles form, then add the remaining brown sugar powder. Then switch to medium speed and continue to whip until the dry foam state is reached.
Take one-third of the egg whites and mix it evenly into the red bean paste batter. Then, pour the mixed red bean paste batter back into the egg white bowl and mix evenly. (Do not stir, just fold to prevent the egg whites from defoaming)
Pour the batter into the mold, sprinkle sesame seeds on the surface. Shake the table twice to remove air bubbles. Place in a preheated oven at 170 degrees for 35 minutes. Insert a toothpick and if it comes out clean, it means the cake is done.
After removing the cake, shake it on the table and invert it onto the baking rack to cool. Once cooled, it can be unmolded.
