Common Mistake

A common mistake when making steam purple sweet potato finger cake for babies is not steaming the sweet potato long enough, which can result in a lumpy and undercooked texture. Another common mistake is not blending the mixture long enough, which can result in a grainy and uneven texture. It’s important to steam the sweet potato until it’s fully cooked and to blend the mixture until it’s smooth and free of lumps, in order to achieve the best results for your baby’s finger cake.

Secret Step:

The secret to making a great steam purple sweet potato finger cake is to apply a layer of oil to the cake bowl before pouring in the mixture. This helps prevent the cake from sticking to the bowl and ensures it comes out easily with a nice texture.
