2. How to Make Tri-Color Sweet Potato Cake.
Ingredients for Tri-Color Sweet Potato Cake:
- All-purpose flour: 280g; (divide into three portions, 2 portions of 100g and 1 portion of 80g);
- Yeast: 2g;
- 1 purple sweet potato, 1 yellow sweet potato (or regular potato).
Steps to Make Tri-Color Sweet Potato Cake
Step 1: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, soak in diluted salt water to remove starch, then cut into small pieces and steam until soft. Mash the regular potato and yellow sweet potato separately. Activate the yeast by mixing with a little warm water and a bit of sugar. Divide the yeast mixture into 3 portions. Mix one portion with 80g of flour, and the remaining two portions with 100g of flour each. Knead all portions into a smooth, non-sticky dough, then place each portion in a separate bowl, cover, and let them rest in a warm place to rise. When the dough doubles in size, it's ready to use.
Step 2: Roll out each portion of dough into thin rectangles with a thickness of about 0.3cm. Repeat this process for all 3 portions of dough, then stack the dough rectangles on top of each other.

Once boiling, keep the heat high for about 15 minutes, then reduce to low heat and simmer for an additional 3 minutes before turning off the heat.
