Why Qifeng cake is called Qifeng;
Because the English translation is like this, Qifeng cake is a transliteration of English chiffon cake. Chiffon means softness.
1, Qifeng cake belongs to sponge cake type, with light texture, and vegetable oil, eggs, sugar, flour and baking powder as basic raw materials. Because vegetable oil does not foam as easily as butter (traditional cakes are made of butter), egg whites should be foamed to provide enough air to support the size of the cake. Qifeng cake contains enough vegetable oil and eggs, so the texture is very moist, not as easy to harden as traditional butter cake. Qifeng cake also contains less saturated fat. However, due to the lack of rich flavor of cream cake, Qifeng cake usually needs rich ingredients such as juice or chocolate and fruit.
Qifeng cake is one of the most popular cakes at present, because of its coarse texture, high moisture content, light but not greasy taste, moist and smooth. It should be noted here that Qifeng cake is extremely soft in texture. If you bake the same weight of whole egg mixed sponge cake batter at the same time, the size of Qifeng cake may be twice that of the former. Although Qifeng cake is soft, it is very elastic and does not feel soft and rotten. It's delicious with all kinds of sauces. In addition, Qifeng cake can also be made into various cake rolls, Boston pies and so on.
