Red Velvet Huat Kueh step by step

1. Prepare huat kueh.

   In a large mixing bowl, add in eggs and sugar.

   Using a hand mixer, whisk until well combined and the sugar has dissolved.

   In another bowl, add flour, salt and baking powder.

   Stir to combine well..

2. Gradually pour in about 1/3 of the beetroot juice into the egg mixture while still mixing.

3. Mix to combine well. Mix, mix, mix.

   The batter should be glossy and smooth.

   Prepare a steamer.

   Line muffin tins with cupcake liners..

4. Making life easier, use a sorbet scoop to transfer the batter into the cupcake liners.

   You should get 6 equal portions (I am a bit OCD, so I divides and measured out 6 equal portions).

   Steam until the kueh blossom and pass the skewer test.

   Skewer test is when you insert a skewer into the kueh, it comes out clean..

5. Remove from steamer and set aside to cool slightly, about 30 mins.

   Prepare cream cheese fillings while steaming.

   In a large bowl, add cream cheese, sugar, cream, lemon juice and zest.

   Using a hand mixer, whisk everything together until well combine..

   Transfer into a piping bag and set aside chilled until ready to use..

7. Assemble the huat kueh.

   Using a cupcake corer, remove the center core of the kueh, but leave the tip in tact.

   Pipe the cream cheese fillings into the core.

   Cover the core with the tip.

   Repeat the process for the remaining kueh.

   You can serve these at room temperature or chilled.

   I prefer mine chilled..
