Happy Birthday to Myself! ——birthday Cake Made by Virgin
1.
Let's make the basic cake first. The white and egg yolk are separated into two containers. Add 30 grams of white sugar to the egg yolk and beat evenly.
2.
Add salad oil and beat well, then add milk and beat well.
3.
Pour 70 grams of plain flour, 40 grams of cornstarch, 4 grams of baking powder and about 3 grams of salt together, stir well, and sift into the egg batter.
4.
Stir gently up and down.
5.
Add 30 grams of granulated sugar to the egg whites three times to beat the egg whites until hard.
6.
Spoon the beaten egg whites into 4 in three times, and gently stir evenly up and down. Start to preheat the oven to 160 degrees.
7.
Pour the stirred batter into the mold, shake off the large bubbles, put it in the oven, and bake for about 45 minutes. Use a toothpick to pierce the center of the cake. If there is no adhesive on the toothpick, the cake is cooked. Take it out, buckle the grill upside down, cover with greased paper or tarp, and buckle the cake upside down immediately.
8.
Let's start decorating the cake. Take off the leaves of strawberries, wash them a little, and soak them in light salt water for half an hour.
9.
Peel the pineapple and cut into pieces, soak in light salt water for half an hour.
10.
It is best to keep the whipped cream in the refrigerator for 24 hours before whipping, which is conducive to whipping.
11.
Add 5 grams of white sugar to the whipped cream and stir until it can be pulled up to a short right angle.
12.
After the cake cools, cut it into two pieces of the same thickness from the middle. Because there is no special cake cutter, I use our fruit knife to draw and develop, ignore it!
13.
Spread blueberry jam evenly on the cut part of the cake, and the amount is determined according to personal preference.
14.
With the jam facing inward, buckle the two pieces of cake as they were originally, and spread the whipped cream evenly on the cake, even in a circle. The same application process done with a fruit knife is horrible!
15.
Cut off the bottom of the strawberry, and cut the larger strawberry to the right height as needed.
16.
Place the strawberries on the cream on the top of the cake according to personal preference.
17.
Place pineapple chunks in the gaps between the strawberries.
18.
Surround the edges with snowflakes, and blend them in the same direction, so that they will look good.
19.
Decorate with a suitable ribbon, tie a beautiful bow, and you're done with a nice and delicious fruit cake!
Tips:
1. Since everyone's oven conditions are different, please adjust the oven temperature and baking time according to the specific situation.
2. To be honest, the baking of the basic cake embryo is relatively slow, so you have to be patient and adjust the temperature at any time, otherwise it will be burnt on the outside and not fully cooked on the inside.
3. Listen to the expert's advice. When making a prestigious cake, the inner wall of the mold cannot be smeared with oil, otherwise the cake will not grow tall. This is also the reason why my cake does not grow tall. Everyone must pay attention!
4. Fruits for decoration can be changed to other types according to personal preference, but the principle to be grasped is that the fruit must be spread over the whole cake surface, so that it will look better.
