Red Bean Cake

















































Ingredients:

2 cups dried red bean, soaked overnight in water
4 cups water
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
2/3 cup brown cane sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup cake flour (tipo 00)
2 tbsp corn flour
3 tsp baking powder

Method:

Boil soaked red bean with 4 cups water till soft and cooked thoroughly (I used rice cooker till almost dry but yet burn), allow to cool to handle-able temperature, mash; set aside.

Grease a cake pan (26 cm in diameter), dust bottom and side of pan with bread crumbs and tapping out the excess; set aside.

Preheat oven to 180 °C.

In a bowl, combine mashed red bean and sugars, beat to incorporate fully.

Add-in eggs and oil, beat till well blended.

In another bowl, combine flours and baking powder.

Add dry ingredients into the red bean batter, mix well.

Pour batter into prepared pan.

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of cake comes out clean.

Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool thoroughly.

Approximately how much red bean paste is yielded from two cups of dried red beans? The reason I ask is because I have paste from 1 1/3 cups of dried beans and am trying to figure out how to adjust the recipe amounts accordingly. Please email me with any advice at bellyrina0590(at)aim.com.

Hello...You can portion-up the recipe base on the volume percentage. ^^ The 2 cups dried bean will give one medium size soup bowl of wet bean...hope it helps you.
