Step 1Making cake molds

First, you wash the coconut leaves, then soak them in dilute salt water for about 10-15 minutes so that the leaves are clean and the cake package lasts longer. After that, you take the hard veins of an old leaf, then use scissors to cut the veins into 2 segments, a 4cm segment and a 4.2cm segment.

Prepare coconut leaves to make cake molds

About the bottom box lid, you take another coconut leaf, cut off the sharp end, then use the 4cm vein to press the leaf, measure into 5 equal segments and cut off the excess leaf.

When you’re done, remove a small part of the leaf on one side of the groove, then fold the leaf in your hand so that it corresponds to the previously created segments. Then, take scissors and cut into the leaf fold (just cut to the veins).

Make the bottom lid of the cake mold

Next, you turn the edges of the cut leaves together to form a square bottom . When you’re done, use a toothpick to hold the mold in place.

Make the lid of the top box of the cake mold

About the top box lid, you do the same as the bottom box, but instead use a 4.2cm ribbed segment to create 5 equal folds.

After creating the horizontal fold, make a diagonal fold (1 45 degrees) right where the horizontal folds are. When finished, break the leaves in diagonal folds to create a square box lid, then use a toothpick to fix it.

Note : You can stick a heart shape on the lid of the box to decorate it pretty.

Step 2Making green bean paste

You bring green beans to wash, then soak in warm water for 4-5 hours to soften. Then, you put a pot of water on the stove, put the soaked green beans in and cook on medium heat until soft. When you’re done, put the cooked green beans with 25g of sugar in a bowl, then use a hand blender to puree until smooth.

Next, you put a pan on the stove, add the ground green beans with 25ml of cooking oil and juice, stir well on low heat until the mixture becomes soft, dry and does not stick to the pan.

Step 3Cook Hue pancake dough

First, boil a pot of water, add the copra and cook for about 5-10 minutes to get all the coconut oil out, limit the smell when steaming the cake as well as help the cake to spoil longer. Then, you dissolve 60ml of water and 80g of sugar in another pot, then slowly add the tapioca starch and stir until dissolved (if you put a lot of flour at the same time, it is easy to make the dough clump).

Next, you put the pot of flour on the stove, stirring constantly with your hands on low heat until the mixture thickens but is still liquid. When done, turn off the heat, add boiled coconut fiber and stir well for all the mixture to blend.

Step 4Steamed buns

You roll out the green bean paste, then cut them into small squares . Then, you put a 10cm piece of pandan leaf in the bottom of the box, then add some cake flour and spread it evenly. When done, put the cut green beans in the middle, 4 lotus seeds in the 4 corners and add 1 layer of cake flour (should have a lot of coconut fibers for beauty) so that the filling is okay.

Next, you put the cake into the pot, close the lid and steam for 10-15 minutes until the cake is cooked (the crust becomes clear and the coconut fibers are more visible). Finally, you wait for the cake to cool completely before putting the lid on, otherwise the cake will ferment and spoil faster.
