Ancient Cakes (2 6-inch Round Molds)
1.
Prepare the raw materials needed to make the cake. It is recommended to choose refrigerated eggs for the eggs, which will help the egg whites to be beaten and stabilized; the wheat flour used for the cake is wheat flour for the arowana pastry, which is low in gluten, and the cake will be fluffy and soft. ;
2.
First take a piece of paper and put it on the table, pour the flour into a fine sieve and sift it to prevent agglomeration in the flour, which may affect mixing;
3.
The sifted low-gluten flour is set aside for later use;
4.
Bring a small pot to heat, add corn oil, and heat on medium to small heat;
5.
After the oil is warm, some oil bubbles will appear at the bottom of the pot. At this time, pour the flour into the small pot and quickly stir the flour with chopsticks to mix the flour and oil together;
6.
Put the mixed oil noodles aside and let cool for later use;
7.
Beat the yolks of six eggs into a bowl, then pour pure milk and salt, use a manual whisk or chopsticks to mix the milk and egg yolks evenly;
8.
Stirred egg yolk milk, the color is yellow, has been mixed evenly;
9.
Pour the egg yolk milk into a cold noodle pot;
10.
Use a silicone spatula to mix the egg yolk milk liquid and the oil noodles together evenly. The oil noodles will still form small bumps when you first mix it. Be patient and crush the bumps into a paste. The final egg yolk milk paste is smooth. No particles, very delicate appearance;
11.
After the egg yolk paste is prepared, the egg whites will be processed. The egg whites are separated before being placed in an oil-free and water-free egg beater, and white sugar is added;
12.
Beat the egg whites with an electric whisk until neutral foaming. The beaten egg whites are white foamy and non-fluid. When you hit the whisk, you can see a small hook;
13.
Take half of the beaten egg whites and put them in the egg yolk paste pot, mix evenly with a spatula;
14.
Pour the mixed egg yolk paste back into the egg white bowl and mix it with the other half of the beaten egg white;
15.
The mixed cake batter is light yellow, delicate and fluffy;
16.
Take two 6-inch round cake molds. Because I need a water bath and my mold has a live bottom, I wrapped two layers of tin foil on the outside of the cake mold to prevent water seepage. Pour the cake batter into the mold, each eighth full, shake flat, put the mold covered with tin foil in the baking pan, fill the baking pan with hot water, my baking pan is shallow, you must fill it up enough, if The baking pan is deep, just pour 2cm deep hot water into it;
17.
Preheat the oven to 150 degrees in advance, put the baking tray in the oven, and heat the upper and lower pipes on the lower level, and bake at 150 degrees for 70 minutes;
18.
During the baking process, the cake will rise slowly, and then a small round bag will bulge on the surface, then it will retract slightly, and finally it will be flush with the mold;
19.
After baking, the cake should be taken out quickly, and it should be buckled on the drying net to dissipate heat. If it is not taken out in time, it will easily shrink in the oven. After taking it out, it must be reversed as shown in the picture, otherwise the heat will not escape and the cake will shrink;
20.
After the cake has completely cooled down, gently strip the cake around the mold and you can take it out. The cake is ready in the early days. Isn't it complicated? This kind of cake is fluffy and soft, moist and softer than the directly baked chiffon cake, and children say it is delicious.
Isn't it delicious? The cakes you make yourself are still genuine, without additives, and you have made them proficiently. Naturally, they are delicious. Only with the addition of the two steps of "hot noodle" and "water bath", the finished cake has changed. It seems that I will also explore more cake methods in the future, and strive to give children more nutrition and health.

[Mom has something to say]:
▲Because the homemade cake has no additives, the fluffiness of the cake depends on the beaten egg whites, so try to use refrigerated eggs. You can squeeze 3-5 drops of lemon juice or white vinegar into the egg whites to help beat them, and the stability will be better;
22.
▲The oven temperature and time in this recipe are for reference only, because each oven will have a temperature difference, some of the difference is not big, some are relatively large, please adjust according to your own oven;
