Notes:

• This recipe uses a Thermos® Shuttle Chef®.

Tips:

• This steam carrot cake that has a sweet scent of carrots and cinnamon, with the pleasant texture of walnuts, made possible by the “secret sauce” – miso.
• Both steam rack and pound cake mold have to fit well into the Shuttle Chef® inner pot when the lid is closed, and the pound cake mold must be easily placed into the Shuttle Chef® when filled with contents.
