Instructions

  1. Mix the rice flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a large bowl.
  2. Gradually pour in the lukewarm water, stirring until you have a smooth, supple batter, similar to thick pancake batter.
  3. Stir in the mashed pumpkin if using, then let the batter rest 30 minutes at room temperature.
  4. Lightly oil individual moulds or a small high-sided dish, and line the bottom with jujubes cut into pieces.
  5. Pour the batter over, filling the moulds two-thirds full, then scatter jujubes over the top.
  6. Steam for 20 to 25 minutes over medium heat, until a knife inserted in the centre comes out dry.
  7. Let cool for a few minutes before unmoulding and serving.

Variations and tips

Pumpkin version. Replace the jujubes with toasted pumpkin seeds and double the amount of pumpkin for a more fragrant cake.
