Can I steam the cake again if it's not cooked in the middle

If the steamed cake is not fully cooked in the middle, it can be steamed again, but the time should be controlled to avoid overheating and deterioration of the taste. Untamed cakes are usually caused by insufficient steam or time, and the heat and duration need to be adjusted when re steaming. When the middle of the steamed cake is not fully cooked, it can be put back into the steamer to continue steaming. At this point, the firepower should be adjusted to medium to low to avoid high temperatures causing the surface to dry and harden. Observe the condition of the cake and insert a toothpick into the center for testing. If there is no adhesive residue, turn off the heat. The re steaming time usually does not exceed one-third of the original steaming time to prevent excessive evaporation of water. The water in the steamer should be sufficient, and frequent opening of the lid should be avoided midway to maintain stable steam circulation. If the cake has cooled or been stored for a long time, the effect of re steaming may not be ideal. After cooling, the internal structure of the cake is fixed, and it is difficult to evenly heat it during secondary steaming, which may result in the outer layer being too soft and the center still sticking. At this point, it is recommended to slice and heat it over water, or use it for other cooking purposes. Short term heating using a microwave can also be used as an emergency solution, but attention should be paid to dividing it into stages to prevent local overheating. When making steamed cakes, it is recommended to use molds with good thermal conductivity. After pouring the batter, gently shake to remove large bubbles. Ensure that the water has boiled before steaming, and maintain a medium heat during the process to ensure that the steam remains evenly distributed. After turning off the heat, let it simmer for a few minutes and then use the remaining heat to make the center fully cooked, which can effectively avoid undercooking. If there are repeated instances of undercooking, it is necessary to check whether the liquid ratio in the formula is too high or adjust the total steaming time.
