Rice flour cake base
Rice flour is the heart of our steamed rice cake. Its fine texture and ability to mix smoothly with other ingredients make it the perfect choice. Did you know that this type of flour provides a unique softness to our cake?
Using rice flour not only ensures a light and fluffy cake but also makes it suitable for those avoiding gluten. This feature makes our cake a delicious and accessible option for everyone. Make sure you have our Special SOS Desserts.
Sugar sweetness and texture
Sugar not only sweetens our steamed rice cake, but it also plays a crucial role in the texture. As it dissolves, it creates that smooth texture and characteristic shine on the surface of the cake. Have you ever wondered why our cake has such a particular texture?
In the search for healthier options without sacrificing flavor, exploring sugar alternatives for steamed rice cake opens up a range of possibilities. Honey is an excellent natural alternative that, in addition to sweetening, provides antioxidants and a characteristic aroma that can enhance the flavor of the cake. Maple syrup, with its distinctive smoky flavor, complements the rice cake ingredients wonderfully. Both options, being liquid, may require adjustments in the proportions of the rest of the ingredients to maintain the desired texture.
Water is the essential element
Water is essential in the preparation of our cake. It acts as the vehicle that unites the rice flour and sugar, creating a homogeneous mass. But how much water is appropriate? The answer depends on the consistency we are looking for.
Too much water can make the cake too soft, while too little can result in a tough cake. The key is to find the middle point, where the cake maintains its shape without losing its tenderness.
Dyes: providing color and joy
Colorants have the power to transform a simple steamed rice cake into a work of art. Adding a touch of color not only makes it more visually appealing but can also influence flavor perception. Have you noticed how a vibrant color can make a dish more appetizing?
Whether using natural or artificial colorants, it is important to dose them correctly to achieve the desired effect without altering the flavor. If you prefer to use natural colorants, we invite you to color with beet juice for a vibrant red or matcha tea for an intense green.
