Milk-Scented Broccoli Steamed Cake
A soft, fluffy steamed cake infused with the natural sweetness of broccoli and a hint of milk. Perfect for little ones or anyone looking for a gentle, nutritious treat.
Ingredients
broccoli florets
1 cup (about 150g)
large egg
1
milk powder
1 tablespoon
all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (about 65g)
vegetable oil
for greasing the bowl
Instructions
1
Cook the broccoli
Bring a small pot of water to a gentle boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Drain well and let cool slightly.
2
Blend into a smooth mixture
Transfer the cooked broccoli to a food processor or blender. Crack in the egg and blend until completely smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Add the milk powder and pulse to combine. Transfer to a bowl, then stir in the flour until you have a thick, lump-free batter.
3
Steam until fluffy
Lightly grease a small steaming bowl or ramekin. Line the bottom with a small piece of parchment paper for easy release. Pour in the batter. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and poke a few tiny holes to let steam escape. Place in a steamer over boiling water and cook for 20 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes before gently turning out onto a plate.
