  • Hi, I’m Francis,

  • the host of this show "Cooking with Dog."

  • First, cut four slices from the sweet potato about a quarter inch thick.

  • Sweet potatoes are hard so be careful not to cut yourself.

  • Cut the slices into quarter inch cubes.

  • Place the potato into a bowl of water

  • and let it sit for 5 minutes to reduce the bitterness.

  • Meanwhile, add the water to the brown sugar

  • and dissolve it completely using a spatula.

  • Now, drain the potato with a mesh strainer

  • and place it onto a paper towel.

  • Remove the excess water thoroughly

  • and place it onto a plate.

  • Let’s make the batter for the mushipan.

  • Combine the cake flour,

  • baking powder

  • and a sprinkle of salt in a mesh strainer

  • and sift the powders into a bowl.

  • Pour the brown sugar water into the center of the flour

  • while mixing with a balloon whisk.

  • Gradually mix in the flour from the center to the outside.

  • This will help avoid pockets of dry flour.

  • Mix until smooth as shown.

  • Next, place a cupcake liner into each cupcake tin.

  • You can also use a regular cupcake pan or silicon baking cups.

  • Pour the batter into the liners evenly.

  • Use a spatula to clean the bowl,

  • distributing the remaining batter.

  • Place the sweet potato cubes onto the batter.

  • Sprinkle on the brown sugar.

  • Finally, place the raisins on top.

  • Lightly tap on the toppings to attach them to the batter.

  • And now, let's steam the mushipan.

  • Turn off the burner to avoid burning yourself with the hot steam.

  • Place the cupcake tins into the steamer using a pair of tongs.

  • Replace the lid

  • and steam the mushipan on medium high heat for about 12 minutes.

  • Wrapping the lid with a dish towel will help prevent the condensation from dripping off the lid.

  • Now, let’s remove the mushipan.

  • Pierce the mushipan with a bamboo stick.

  • If the stick is clean, they are ready.

  • Turn off the burner

  • and place the cupcake tins onto a tray with the tongs.

  • Remove the mushipan from the cupcake tins

  • and place them onto a plate.

  • This recipe doesn’t have any butter or eggs so it is easy to make.

  • The ingredients are simple so this can be an excellent dessert for children.

  • We also recommend dried figs and walnuts for toppings.

  • This healthy dessert will remind you of a comforting taste.

  • Good luck in the kitchen.
