Mix the purple sweet potato mixture
After purchasing, peel and wash the sweet potatoes. Cut the sweet potatoes into small pieces and steam them until cooked, then mash the sweet potatoes finely.
Add the sweet potatoes to a pan, add 2 tablespoons of condensed milk, 2 tablespoons of cooking oil, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Stir continuously over medium heat until the mixture becomes sticky and no longer sticks to the pan.
Tip:
- If you want the sweet potatoes to be smooth, you can pass the mashed sweet potatoes through a sieve before adding them to the pan.
- You can adjust the amount of sugar according to your preference for sweetness.
-
Prepare the dough and divide it
Boil 150ml of water and 2 tablespoons of sugar, when the water boils and the sugar dissolves completely, turn off the heat, and slowly add the sugar water to 200g of glutinous rice flour, mixing well.
You can wait for the dough to cool down a bit before kneading it several times until it becomes elastic and no longer sticks to your hands.
Divide the dough into 3 equal parts, roll the dough out into thin pieces about the length of a hand span.
Tip: If the dough is dry, you can add a little cooled boiled water, as the amount of water needed may vary depending on the condition of the dough.
-
Roll and steam the cake
Place a sufficient amount (about 1 tablespoon) of purple sweet potato filling on the rolled dough, spread the filling evenly, and slowly roll the dough back up.
After rolling up all the dough and sweet potato filling, cut the cake into pieces about 1.5 finger joints long. Brush a little cooking oil on the banana leaves and place each small piece of cake on the leaves.
Tip:
- To prevent the dough from sticking to your hands while rolling, you should apply a little cooking oil to your hands!
- To prevent the cake from sticking to the leaves or other tools, remember to oil the leaves and any surfaces that come into direct contact with the cake.
- If you don’t have banana leaves, you can substitute them with parchment paper.
Place the cakes in the steamer. To prevent the cakes from sticking together while steaming, you should keep them spaced apart. Steam for about 5 – 7 minutes until the cakes are cooked.

The small, lovely purple sweet potato cakes rolled with glutinous rice flour have alternating white and purple colors, very eye-catching.
The cake is chewy, fragrant, with a sweet and chewy skin. Combined with the filling of purple sweet potato, which is creamy, fatty, and sweet-smelling, it is extremely enjoyable to eat.

How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Purple Sweet Potatoes
- You should choose purple sweet potatoes with dark purple skin, intact and not chipped.
- When lifted, a heavy feel indicates good quality potatoes; select potatoes of moderate size, not too large, as larger ones are often older, containing a lot of fibers and not tasty.
- Avoid buying sweet potatoes that have sprouted, as these are old and have been stored for a long time.
- If you see sweet potatoes that are pitted or have black spots, it is a sign that they have gone bad.
