U are making the most easiest and most difficult cake whick we call Sponge Cake. I have a Professional Chef Certificate, believe me!!
This cake does not require any baking powder nor baking soda. The key to this cake is whipping and mixing the egg white:
1. till it is grossy and can "stand up", becareful as u can "over-whip" the egg white,
2. When mixing (搅匀) all the other ingredients, "light" is the key, don't be too 匀. Do not use any sharp utensil for mixing to avoid "killing" the air pockets inside the egg white.
You have already written the reason for your failure :Post by sunnie
我把面粉加进去后, 好像泡泡就少了很多。 This tells me that your have over mixed your batter, too much 搅匀.
The air pocket will not hold if the heat is not enough, I have seen oven that is 30 degree below what it is supposed to be.
I have make this cake quite a few times, never satisfactory but people eats it with fun. I tend to over-beaten the egg white and cake turn out too dry. I only bake it for rolling not in 蛋糕模, i.e. something like 8" x 14" x 1/2". Put lots of whipped 35% cream + can fruit ~= Jelly Roll. As for 蛋糕, I buy the plain Angel cake or the flat thingie from supermarket, too much work to whip all the stuff. Happy cake baking! |
