White Lotus Root Cake
- 1 Lotus root
- 100 grams Flour
- 1/2 tbsp Baking powder
- 50 ml Honey
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 100 ml Soy milk
- Put the flour and baking powder in a plastic bag, close it up with plenty of air in the bag, and shake to mix.
- This way you don't need to sift it.
- Grate the lotus root: use your fingers to remove the thin membranes in the holes of the root.
- Preheat the oven to 180C.
- Combine the grated lotus root, honey, vegetable oil and soy milk.
- Mix the flour combination from step 1 to the mixture from Step 3.
- It's hard to tell from the photo, but it's easier to cut a corner of the bag and add the contents to the bowl rather than opening the bag up.
- Pour the batter into a lined cake pan.
- In the photo, I used a cake pan made with newspaper.
- If you're using a pound cake tin or a milk carton, the ingredient amounts listed above are fine!
- Bake for about 20 minutes in a preheated 180C oven.
- If a skewer stuck into the middle comes out clean, it's done.
- If you want the cake to have a whiter surface, bake covered with a piece of aluminum foil.
- If you're topping the cake with lotus root chips: microwave thinly sliced lotus root for 25 minutes.
- If they're not crispy enough, heat on a grill (or similar).
