Turnip Cake Ingredients

Method

Turnip Cake Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large bowl, combine grated turnips, rice flour, water, chopped green onions, salt, white pepper, and crumbled bacon. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

  2. 2

    Cook the Cake

    Pour the batter into a greased steaming dish or cake pan. Steam over boiling water for about 30-40 minutes, or until the cake is firm and cooked through.

  3. 3

    Cool and Slice

    Once cooked, remove the cake from the steamer and let it cool for a few minutes. Carefully slice the cake into squares.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve warm with a drizzle of potlikker and a dollop of crème fraiche on top.
