What will happen if pumpkin cake has too little yeast? How to remedy the situation if pumpkin cake has too little yeast?

Steamed cake is a popular snack in life. It has rich flavors and various cooking methods. Pumpkin steamed cake is one of the common ways to eat it. Many people make pumpkin steamed cake at home. Pumpkin steamed cake usually uses yeast. So what should I do if I don’t use enough yeast in pumpkin steamed cake? Let’s take a closer look!

What will pumpkin cake look like if you put less yeast?

First of all, we judge that the pumpkin dough does not have so many fermentation holes, and the fermented pumpkin is regarded as an unfermented pumpkin dough. At this time, the yeast in the pumpkin cake dough is definitely not enough, so we have to continue to put in enough yeast. Here I suggest that although yeast powder has been put into the pumpkin cake dough just now, the yeast powder has been basically used in the last fermentation, so it can only be said that this yeast is not enough for the second proofing of the pumpkin cake last time.

If we find that the pumpkin steamed cake is in a half-risen state, we can add a little more yeast and knead the dough again, and then continue to make the dough rise, because the yeast powder just now does play a certain role, but the amount added is not enough. If we can add some more yeast powder at will, the added yeast powder can play a role and we can make the pumpkin steamed cake.

What to do if there is not enough yeast in pumpkin cake

A very simple way is to let the pumpkin cake ferment again, so as to ensure that the pumpkin cake can rise easily, and the pumpkin cake made will be soft and delicious, and will not waste the results of our hard work.

1. Add some yeast to warm water. Stir well. Then knead the pumpkin powder. Add the stirred water and yeast powder. Sprinkle some flour to prevent it from being too thin. Knead for 10 minutes, then cover with plastic wrap. Place in a high temperature place to let it rise. That's it.

2. Sprinkle yeast powder directly. The premise is that the fermented dough should be thinner. Knead for 10 minutes. Place it in a high temperature place, such as in the countryside, cover the stove with plastic wrap, and it will ferment in an hour.

How much yeast should be put in pumpkin cake

The amount of pumpkin steamed cake needs to be discussed. Sometimes people don’t know how much yeast powder to add to make pumpkin steamed cake. We should consider about one-third of the weight of the pumpkin as the amount of dough. That is to say, if we put in half a pound of pumpkin and 200 grams of flour, then we need to put in about 3g of yeast powder. It can be said that pumpkin contains a lot of water. With so much water, when making pumpkin puree, a large part of the water will be mixed in the flour, so don’t forget to count the weight of the pumpkin, so that the fermentation can be better.
