This is a variation of "Oatmeal cinnamon steamed bread". I made this because I wanted to have a spicy American style carrot cake. (I used the spicy carrot cake recipe in the "VEGE BOOK3" cookbook as inspiration.)

You can use the oatmeal as-is, but please try processing it into a powder. The cake will have a moist, chewy texture.
Prevent condensation from dripping onto the cake when you remove the lid by wrapping the steamer lid with a cloth and securing it with an elastic band. (Be careful not to let the cloth catch fire if you have a gas range!) Recipe by Miyakojika

Steps

1

Pulverize the oatmeal in a food processor or mill into a powder. Combine in a bowl with the soy milk, and let the oatmeal absorb the moisture.
2

Process the carrot in a food processor until it is very finely chopped. Roast the walnuts in a toaster oven for 5 minutes, and chop up roughly with a knife. Roughly chop the raisins.
3

Add the carrot, walnuts, and raisins to the bowl from Step 1, and mix well.
4

Sift in the ★ ingredients, and fold in using a rubber spatula until well incorporated.
5

Fill a cake pan (or a plastic container lined with parchment paper) about 80% of the way with the batter.
6

Start heating the steamer over high heat. When steam starts to rise, put in the pan from Step 5 and steam over high heat for 25 to 30 minutes. If a bamboo skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean it's done.
7

Cut up and serve as-is for breakfast. It is not that sweet.
8

Top with "Macrobiotic whipped 'cream'"to serve as dessert.

By the way, you can use quick-cook oatmeal (on the right) or regular oatmeal (on the left).

If you make this in small containers such as muffin tins, steam for 15 to 20 minutes.
