Basic Chiffon
1.
Separate the egg white and the yolk in two containers. The egg white one should use a larger egg-beating basin to ensure that it is oil-free and water-free, and it is easy to beat. The egg yolk can be smaller. If I beat too many eggs, I don’t need a separator. If I’m a novice, I can use an egg white separator.
2.
Add the milk and oil in the serving size to the egg yolk and add about one-third of the sugar in the recipe.
3.
Mix the egg yolks evenly with your hands.
4.
Whip well, if you use raw sugar, it is normal that it can't be completely melted for a while, and you will mix it later.
5.
Start the electric whisk and add the remaining sugar while beating. It should be added in batches, which is more conducive to egg whites. It is usually divided into three steps, that is, the following three steps. In actual operation, I usually put the egg beater in one hand and add sugar in the other hand. It is enough to add the sugar in different states.
6.
Add it once when the egg whites appear thick.
7.
Add it again after a little finer.
8.
Add it again after getting more detailed.
9.
After all the sugar is added, the whisk can be speeded up to the ideal state. The ideal state of the chiffon cake is not to make too much hair. After turning off the whisk, pull out the whisk, you can pull out the triangle, there will be egg white on the whisk. In fact, the resistance of the egg whites to the whisk can also be clearly felt during the beating process.
10.
Okay, after the egg whites are beaten, set aside and start processing the egg yolk paste. Stir the egg yolk paste again, as far as possible until all the sugar is melted. The sugar here is best to use soft white sugar or other small particles of sugar. After mixing evenly, put the low flour into the egg yolk paste. The flour here can be sifted. Sometimes I just add it directly to save trouble.
11.
Use the hand pump and the rubber spatula together to mix the egg yolk paste evenly, try not to draw circles to avoid tendons. In fact, during operation, you can also use an electric whisk to mix evenly at low speed.
12.
The egg yolk paste and egg white paste are ready. At this time, the oven is about to start preheating, choose 170 degrees to start. The temperature of the oven is very different, and the degree of difference between the indicated temperature and the actual temperature is sometimes beyond your imagination. Therefore, you need to run in with your own oven. It is recommended to choose a high-quality oven to reduce the number of failures. For oven food, the temperature and time can be adjusted within a certain range. If the temperature is low, it is possible to extend the time appropriately. In the middle
13.
Take a small part of the egg white paste and put it in the egg yolk
14.
, Use cutting or mixing method to mix evenly.
15.
After mixing, this operation is convenient for the subsequent mixing more evenly.
16.
Pour the egg yolk paste into the egg white paste.
17.
Using cut is actually a method similar to cutting vegetables.
18.
Or use a turn, start with the rubber spatula from the bottom of the basin, turn it up, and repeat the procedure until the egg white and egg yolk are mixed evenly.
19.
The mixed paste is smooth and delicate, and it is normal to have a slight bubble.
20.
Pour the paste into the mold, use a light tap to shake off the bubbles or use a bamboo stick to draw "Zig" to eliminate large bubbles.
21.
Put it in the oven at 170 degrees for 90 minutes. If it’s 5 eggs, it won’t take that long. The cake will grow taller and then retract slightly in the oven. Observe this process carefully. After a slight retract, it will be the time to come out of the oven.
22.
After the chiffon came out of the oven, it was dropped directly on the chopping board to effectively remove the water vapor, and then it was inverted. The chiffon of the seven eggs was really problematic, so I had to stand it up again after holding it for a long time.
23.
After the cake is completely cooled down, the fat top that has grown in the oven will disappear. After demolding, it is basically successful if the waist does not collapse and does not collapse.
24.
In fact, there is a problem with Chiffon, that is, it is completely cool. The cut surface must be uniform. If it is not uniform, the fluffy part is not fluffy. The unfluffy part is called sedimentation. This part usually appears on the top of the middle of the round cake. In other words, in the part of the Chiffon chimney, the cake in the finished picture actually has more serious deposits, because the temperature and time are not adjusted properly. I made three eight-inch 7-egg chiffon that day. This one was cut, and the other two were made into cake embryos. The next two were adjusted, and the deposits basically did not appear.
25.
Okay, that's all for the grandeur, let's explore while doing it.
