Red yeast rice powder 1g
120g warm water
Fine granulated sugar (white granulated sugar can also be replaced with cotton sugar)

★ The sweetness of orange red cakes comes from candied kumquats, so choosing kumquats with different sweetness directly determines the amount of sugar to be added. There are usually enough sugar in the candied fruit on the market, so you can add a small amount. The rind and fresh kumquat need to be added with sugar to taste. The sugar we add is moderate, and you can add it according to your preference.

White sugar candied kumquat + 10g white granulated sugar
Wild candied citrus + 10g white sugar
Chen Pei + 60g caster sugar
New Fresh Kumquat + 60g caster sugar
