Method

1. 1 Soak red beans for 8 hours, then cook until tender for 45 minutes and simmer with sugar to form a thick filling.
2. 2 Mix the flour with the eggs, milk, honey, melted butter, and baking powder until smooth, then let it rest for 20 minutes.
3. 3 Heat a cast iron daisy-shaped mold and then brush butter onto each petal.
4. 4 Brush butter into each petal crevice; if there's not enough butter in the crevices, the cake will stick to the mold and lose its shape.
5. 5 Fill the mold halfway with paste, place the bean paste filling in the center, and then pour more paste to cover it completely.
6. 6 Press the cake into the mold and bake for 3 minutes on each side until the surface is golden brown and the pattern is clearly visible.

With an appliance

• Oven 48 min

  Replace step 6: spray oil on both sides of the chrysanthemum mold, place it in the middle rack of the oven at 205 degrees for 8 minutes, and flip the mold after 4 minutes; the bean paste will heat evenly, requiring less monitoring, but the flower patterns will not burn at the edges like on a stovetop.
